The Direction of Dreams
The moon is not a place so much as a projection. A target with no ceiling. In crypto, to say something is going to the moon is to declare belief. It's not so much about fundamentals but velocity and emotion.

This piece explores that momentum-laced optimism. It’s what gets posted when the chart turns parabolic and the community starts tweeting in all caps while the candles go vertical. Mooning is exaggeration, but it’s also invitation. A call to join the wave and believe before it tops out. To act like exit liquidity.

And yet, there’s a strange elegance to it. Because every market runs on narrative — and moon is the shortest one. No nuance, no thesis, no debate. People yell “moon” not to forecast, but to will it into being. Moon is FOMO’s cousin and hopium’s hype man. But deeper down, it’s about hope. That this trade is the one. That this cycle is different. That this time you’ll make it, not just break even.

In crypto, moon is both meme and mood. A joke that almost believes itself. And every once in a while, it’s right.
