The Fed's recent moves are quite bold—Powell is easing monetary policy by cutting interest rates while blaming Trump's tariffs for inflation. The blame-shifting technique is nothing short of textbook.

But the problem isn't that simple. The inflation persistence in the Western world stems from aging populations accelerating, manufacturing returning with soaring costs, and welfare systems being drained, causing asset prices to soar to the sky. If not for nuclear deterrence, the post-pandemic situation might have repeated the pattern of a world war.

Every industrial revolution reshapes the rules of the game. That 2% inflation target? More like a political symbol now. Geopolitical conflicts haven't fully torn open, and nobody can afford the cost of completely ripping up the table.

Elon Musk repeatedly warns about the risk of a world war, and this is not just alarmist talk. Looking beyond traditional assets like stocks and gold, the global economy is basically a patchwork of torn and stitched-up rags. In this environment, the risk-hedging logic of digital assets like BTC and ETH becomes increasingly clear.
