The Death Star of Crypto: Why Retail Keeps Getting Pulled Into Orbit

When you think of Darth Vader, you probably think of the villain — dark mask, heavy breathing, commanding the Death Star. But before he was Vader, he was Anakin. Brilliant, powerful, and in many ways, the hero people wanted to believe in.

That’s Coinbase in crypto. Both bad and good. Both Vader and Anakin.

Coinbase gives retail the cleanest on-ramp into this economy. It’s the bridge most people cross when they finally decide to put some money into Bitcoin or Ethereum. It’s easy, it’s sleek, and it feels safe — like Anakin, the Jedi prodigy.

But then there’s the Vader side. The part that pulls new investors into orbit with narratives — Altseason, Banana Zones, even the September rate cut setup we keep hearing about. These signals aren’t always signals. Sometimes they’re sirens. And if you’re not careful, you end up on the wrong side of the trade.

The most dangerous of these narratives is Altseason. It’s sold like a rebellion rising — all alt coins banding together as freedom fighters against the Empire. But let’s be honest: not every alt is flying an X-Wing.

Some alts may actually look like the Rebel fleet. Ethereum isn’t an “alt” at all — it’s the operating system of Web3, the backbone where real building happens. But plenty of…

The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational

The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational

The post The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 10: Flanked by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi (rear), and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary (R), Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to the press outside Midwest Distribution after it was raided by federal agents on September 10, 2025 in Bensenville, Illinois. According to the company, various e-liquids were seized in the raid. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images) Getty Images While running for President in 2008, Barack Obama famously chanted “Yes we can.” Love or hate his political views, Obama’s politics were quite effective. He was asking voters to think big, to envision a much better future. Advertisers no doubt approved. That’s because ads routinely evoke things not as they are, but as they could be. Gyms and exercise equipment companies don’t promote their locations and equipment with flabby, lumbering people, rather their ads show fit, upright, energetic individuals. A look ahead. Restaurants do the same with ads showing happy people enjoying impressively put together plates of food. Conversely, ads meant to convince smokers to quit have not infrequently shown the worst of the worst future downsides of the habit. The nature of advertising comes to mind as FDA commissioner Marty Makary puzzlingly brags that “The Trump Administration Is Taking On Big Pharma” in the New York Times. Makary laments pharmaceutical ads that “are filled with dancing patients, glowing smiles and catch jingles that drown out the fine print.” Not explained is whether Makary would be happier if drug companies placed ads with immobile patients, frowns, and funereal music. Seriously, what does he expect? Does he want drug companies to commit billions to drug development to accompany their achievements with imagery defined by misery? Has Makary stopped to contemplate the myriad shareholders lawsuits drugmakers would face if, upon risking staggering sums meant…
