Just saw the news—Trump has released the new National Security Strategy. The entire document talks about cutting-edge technologies like AI and quantum computing. Cryptocurrency and blockchain? Not a trace.

A lot of people in the crypto space felt a pang of concern: Are we being marginalized? But don't panic just yet. If you think about it, not being mentioned isn't necessarily a bad thing.

This document addresses core issues at the "national security" level. The fact that crypto isn't on the list reveals at least two signals: First, it might not yet be considered a strategic priority; second, perhaps for now, it's not seen as a "threat" that needs special regulation. For an emerging industry that's still growing wildly, a little less "special attention" actually means a bit more breathing room.

How will the market react? There may be some short-term emotional swings, since unmet expectations can be disappointing. But will this cause a crash? Unlikely. What really drives the market has never been whether a document mentions you, but rather the Fed’s monetary policy and the actual strength of the projects themselves.

So, how should we regular investors respond?

**Don’t scare yourself.** Not being named doesn’t mean being abandoned, so don’t overthink it. Stay clear-headed and keep your emotions in check.

**Focus on fundamentals.** This is a good reminder: don’t obsess over every word from big names. Whether a coin is valuable depends on what real-world problems it solves and how many real users it has.

**Stick to your plan.** Keep dollar-cost averaging if that’s your strategy, or keep waiting and watching if that’s what you’ve been doing. A piece of “not mentioned” news is no reason to overturn your original plan.

At the end of the day, big shots have their own agendas, and we have our own pace of life. If they don’t mention us, we just focus on what we need to do and do our homework well. Think long-term, keep a steady mindset—after all, who knows who’ll be laughing at the end of this market?
