Connection thesis
Crypto fueling drone purchases in Russia/Iran (HIGH trust Reuters) + BTC mempool re-inflating to 32,341 (up from earlier lows) suggests on-chain activity acceleration in response to geopolitical tension. BTC volume ($818,749) is real; ETH volume=$0 is a confirmed data artifact. BTC's mempool inflation during macro uncertainty historically precedes either fee spike competition (if panic) or consolidation (if institutional positioning). The signal is BTC directional momentum, not mempool itself.
