Don't remind me again today

Remember the longest government shutdown in U.S. history? Still wondering what kind of ripple effects it actually had on markets and the broader economy.



That prolonged standoff didn't just mess with federal workers' paychecks. Economic uncertainty tends to spook investors, delay policy decisions, and create volatility across asset classes—crypto included.

Anyone dig into how that shutdown influenced trading sentiment back then? Would be interesting to revisit whether it accelerated the hunt for decentralized alternatives or just added another layer of macro noise traders had to navigate.

During the shutdown, I noticed that the crypto world was indeed a bit restless, but to be honest, most people were just speculating on narratives... How many people really turned to defi because of the Crisis of Confidence? I see it as uncertain.

honestly the shutdown was just macro noise that made retail traders panic-sell their bags while institutions quietly accumulated. nobody was suddenly discovering decentralization because the government couldn't get its act together lmao

To be honest, that shutdown period was indeed the "reshuffling moment" for crypto, during which on-chain activities rose sharply. It felt like everyone was quietly moving towards DeFi.

Hi, the shutdown really exposed the vulnerabilities of TradFi, and it seems to have accelerated more people moving on-chain.

The recent shutdown in the US really stirred up the crypto world, and the macro panic led to dumping.
