Rare internal divisions have emerged within the Federal Reserve.
Three consecutive rate cuts still couldn't bridge the decision-makers' disagreements. What’s more unsettling is that some officials have begun to mention a term that has disappeared for half a century—stagflation. The last time this term appeared on a large scale was during the economic nightmare of the 1970s: soaring inflation coupled with a recession, rendering all conventional measures ineffective.
This is the real warning sign to watch out for.
It's not about the rate cuts themselves, but that top-level decision-makers’ diagnoses of the economy have become completely divided. When the helmsmen on the ship can't agree on the direction, where will it head? This kind of uncertainty is more dangerous than any data.
For the cryptocurrency market, the rules of the game may be changing. The simple logic of "printing money equals rising prices" is no longer valid. Now, high volatility, repeated fluctuations, and emotion-driven moves dominate—any news can be amplified infinitely, with greed and panic alternating.
The narratives around BTC and ETH might be quietly transforming. From being "digital gold" as a store of value, they are becoming one of the few certainties in turbulent times. When traditional financial systems fall into chaos, the value of decentralized assets may be re-evaluated.
Remember one thing: in a storm full of uncertainty, certainty itself is the most scarce asset.

Stagflation — as soon as I hear that word, I know the game has changed, and the logic of pumping liquidity has completely failed.
The more chaotic traditional finance becomes, the more our opportunities grow. This logic is interesting.
The Federal Reserve is fighting among itself; we just watch. Anyway, certainty is valuable right now.
When the helmsman has no direction, following BTC is the safest choice.
This is truly a black swan moment, not those false alarms of panic.
When stagflation hits, all safe-haven assets need to be reevaluated, including our treasures.
High volatility is the real wealth code. Don’t be afraid.

The Federal Reserve itself can't even tell the difference anymore, how are we these retail investors supposed to play...
Hey, has the term stagflation really appeared? Damn, this time it's not something simple like rate hikes or cuts that can fix it.
The captains are fighting among themselves, let's just watch how crypto rescues the market.
Instead of waiting for them to figure it out, it's better to buy some BTC now and stockpile, after all, the more chaotic traditional finance gets, the greater our chances.
Cutting rates three times was useless, indicating there's really a problem... At this point, it’s more about who can survive in the chaos.

Stagflation is here. Can we still expect monetary easing to rescue the market? Laughing out loud, this time the game rules really need to be rewritten.
