The Direction of Dreams
Moon is not a place. It’s a promise. A projection. A target with no ceiling. In crypto, to say something is “going to the moon” is to declare belief — not in fundamentals, but in velocity. It’s price as prophecy, emotion as trendline.

This piece captures that momentum-laced optimism. Because moon isn’t analysis. It’s aspiration. It’s what gets posted when the chart turns parabolic. When the protocol finally ships. When the community starts tweeting in all caps and the candles go vertical.

Moon is exaggeration, but it’s also invitation. A call to join the wave, to believe before it tops out. To act like exit liquidity, but with style.

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. Just three letters that say: this thing matters now.

This work doesn’t depict a rocket. It reflects belief under pressure. The way memes replace models. The way 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 you’ll make it, this time — not just break even.

In crypto, moon is both meme and mood. A compass for the unserious. A rallying cry for the chronically online. A joke that almost believes itself.

And every once in a while, it’s right.
