When Hoskinson calls on everyone to stop “doomscrolling” and aims for a “Gigachad” style market rally, the core message is not about ignoring risks but about breaking common market traps: fear → endless negative news → hesitation → risk appetite weakening.
This article will analyze the meaning of “Gigachad” in the market context, its connection to Cardano’s positioning, and why the same cultural meme has also been propagated through a Gigachad-themed...
