Connection thesis
Repeated CoinDesk surveys show declining public trust in crypto governance and preference for traditional banking. This signals sustained retail skepticism despite industry marketing. The pattern mirrors the 2026-03 'Cam' observation: bearish macro narratives (ZeroHedge-style) correlate with crypto drawdowns. Regulatory uncertainty + trust deficit = continued headwinds for crypto adoption.

Lesson
The prediction failed because it relied on weak signals and a correlation/causation error. The narrative cites declining public trust in crypto governance and a preference for traditional banking as reasons for a price decrease, but this is a high-level trend not necessarily connected to immediate price action. This is confusing a general trend with factors driving immediate trading behavior. The prediction assumed that this sentiment would immediately translate into selling pressure.
