UK PM Starmer weighs in on the escalating trade tensions after Trump's Greenland tariff announcement. His take? Trade wars benefit nobody—a sentiment many in the crypto community share when watching traditional markets spiral. When governments start swinging tariffs around, it typically triggers capital reallocation. Some traders shift focus to decentralized alternatives and digital assets as inflation hedges. The irony isn't lost on anyone paying attention: centralized policy decisions drive people toward decentralization. Whether this becomes a catalyst for increased institutional interest in crypto or just background noise depends on how far these trade disputes escalate. Either way, geopolitical friction keeps reminding the market why alternatives exist.

The keyword "decentralization" appears frequently, and now it's back... Traditional finance is self-destructing again.

According to the analysis of the incentive mechanism in the white paper, the tariff war is actually a live lesson in the failure of centralized governance. The more intense the trade war, the more the decentralized value proposition can gain consensus... This is called antifragility.

When a trade war breaks out, everyone rushes to the crypto world. Haven't we seen this trick before?

As soon as the trade war starts, everyone rushes into the crypto world. This routine has become boring.

Whenever there's a trade war, everyone rushes to crypto. This trick has been played out, haha.

As soon as the trade war starts, people run onto the chain. This situation is truly a perfect satire.

The fiercer the trade war, the faster we run

Honestly, once the trade war started, traditional finance began to twitch, and retail investors rushed onto the chain. We won this round again.

Politicians are back to blaming each other over tariffs, it's hilarious. They should have been playing with DeFi all along.
