TON's rise seems too convenient

TON soars by +25%, and suddenly a swarm of believers in a $20 TON emerges 😁. But if you look deeper, this surge doesn't seem like a newfound faith in the ecosystem.

Funding was heavily negative (-56%), with too many shorts, and the market was already anticipating further decline. Right at this moment, news breaks: sharding update and a new analytics tool for developers at builders.ton.org.

The timing is just too perfect to shake out the short-sellers and restore hope.

Yet, TON's main issue remains unresolved. It's never been about speed, sharding, or fees. The problem is that TON is one of the most developer-unfriendly blockchains among major ecosystems.

Complex architecture, odd standards, weak tools, and a perpetual sense that TON exists in its own crypto universe. While other networks have been advancing DeFi and privacy, TON has been losing time, people, and solid products over the years.

Only now is there an attempt to fix this. But it seems more like an urgent repair of something that's been breaking for years.

Meanwhile, they're liquidating short-sellers and making profits 😂. We'll likely drop back to $1.8, Pavel will mention the fourth point, and the cycle will repeat.
