There's something fascinating about how the community builds these intricate narratives from just scraps of information. A single detail morphs into this sprawling lore—speculation stacked on speculation, sometimes grounded in reality, sometimes pure fantasy.
But here's what gets interesting: that tiny seed of "what if" becomes absolutely massive. People don't just wonder—they start positioning themselves around the possibility. The question alone generates real market energy.
What if this rumor actually pans out? What if the timing is different this cycle? Those hypotheticals aren't harmless—they move capital, shift sentiment, reshape trading positions. The narrative itself becomes a market force, regardless of whether the underlying thesis holds water. That's the psychological machinery running beneath surface-level price action.
