Inflation hitting 9.1% year-over-year by mid-2022 wasn't about partisan politics—it was Fed-backed deficit spending. Republican-controlled Congress passed it, the administration signed off on it. That's just the starting point. Later legislative moves aggravated the situation further. The real story: massive monetary accommodation met unchecked fiscal expansion. When central banks finance government spending at that scale, prices don't stay put. Understanding this mechanism matters for anyone tracking macro cycles and their ripple effects into crypto markets.

Basically, it's the central bank printing money and the government spending recklessly, and the crypto world is the first to pay the price.

Another macro story that is "theoretically feasible," but the result is inflation devouring everything. Luban No.7 is back at work, this time with a trap involving the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies. The crypto world is still waiting for interest rate cuts, unaware that this mechanism has already messed up the market beyond recognition.

NGL, the Fed's move is really shooting itself in the foot. Printing money to the ceiling and now inflation is off the charts—who's to blame?

It's the same old story... The central bank injects liquidity + government spending, and in the end, it's us retail investors who suffer, with the coin prices being drained like blood. I've known these game rules for a long time; it's not really a matter of political allegiance.

I'm telling you, when the Fed prints money and the government spends money, inflation skyrockets like a rocket, soaring rapidly. No one can stop it. The crypto world has long been battered and bloodied, to be honest.

Basically, it's just the printing press running too wildly; the crypto world should have seen through this setup a long time ago.
