When ordinary people see a trending topic: they click to see what’s going on. When crypto folks see one: they first look for a coin that might be connected.
This time, the topic was “Gold prices fall, consumers buy 30g of gold jewelry early for the New Year,” which led me to $PAXG , a coin linked to gold price movements.
There are plenty of emotions between a hot topic and market movements, so don’t equate the two outright.
