Global economic momentum is cooling down more than expected. We're looking at 2025 wrapping up around 2.9% growth—basically flat compared to trend. But here's the kicker: the next couple years are shaping up to be even slower. Economists are penciling in 2.8% growth for both 2026 and 2027. That slowdown could reshape how capital flows across markets, including digital assets. When traditional growth stalls, investors hunt for alternatives.

actually let me break this down for u—if you examine the data patterns historically speaking, we've seen similar quorum requirements in capital reallocation cycles. the voting power dynamics during slowdown periods fundamentally alter tokenomics frameworks, empirical evidence suggests we're heading into precedent territory here ngl

The global economy is slowing down, but isn't this just a signal for us to enter the market?

2.8% growth? Haha, that's what they call a "soft landing," huh? That's hilarious.

tbh the "investors hunt for alternatives" bit is arguably where the game theoretical implications get spicy... but like, historical precedent suggests we've seen this movie before. path dependency's a bitch tho 🤔

Damn, the growth rate is really getting more and more pathetic. No wonder recently the wealthy have started to buy the dip in the crypto world.
