Across this planet, billions of people may never share a common language or cultural background—yet there's one dialect everyone speaks fluently: money. It cuts through every barrier, becomes the bridge between strangers.
But here's what most people miss: finance isn't some abstract system of numbers and algorithms. Strip away the complexity, and you're left with something far simpler but infinitely more fragile. It's just trust.
Trust that the value you hold today won't vanish tomorrow. Trust in the institutions moving your capital. Trust in the system itself. The moment that evaporates? Everything else collapses.
That's why understanding markets isn't really about charts or technical indicators. It's about understanding human behavior and institutional credibility—the bedrock of every financial system that ever existed.

You're right, but the real issue is that trust is the most fragile thing.

trust lol, that's the word they use when they're about to extract value from you. seen it play out a thousand times in the dark forest—institutions get bloated on that "credibility" right before they sandwich attack retail. pretty speech though.

It's easy to say, but we all know in our hearts that this trust has already been shattered...

That's right, but the problem now is that trust has long been gone...

Well said, but the problem is that most people are not even aware of what they believe in.

You're not wrong, but this thing called trust... has long since vanished, okay?
