Trump recently turned the Federal Reserve Chair position into a reality show. A series of interviews, each featuring the "massive rate cut" card.
The four finalists each have their own stories: Haskett waving the flag of cooling inflation; Wosh wielding a dovish pen; Waller being praised for being smooth—hesitant on the rate cut steps; Riedel still organizing his resume backstage.
Honestly, it's less about choosing a central bank president and more about finding the rate manipulator who dares to step on the gas pedal.
But the Federal Reserve is an institution with a century-old foundation. Williams hinted that inflation data might have been "modified," Goolsbee and Waller are like a fire starter and a brake— the flames of data haven't fully died out, and no one wants to gamble their credibility by recklessly acting.
The politically driven rate cuts of the 1970s ultimately triggered the inflation monster. These candidates are as clear as a mirror: once in that chair, both the market's magnifying glass and the spotlight of history will be on you. No matter how much Trump shouts "massive rate cuts," he can't drown out the heartbeat of the monthly CPI data.

Reality show selecting the central bank governor... This script is too outrageous haha. Can a governor recruited through a joyride be reliable? If inflation rises again then, who will take the blame?

The story of cutting interest rates sounds easy, but only when you experience it do you realize what market backlash really means. History has already taught us this lesson.
---
Instead of saying electing a chairman, it's more like choosing a scapegoat. I bet ETH will give the answer first.
---
Once the "manipulated" inflation data came out, I knew chaos would follow. It's time for the crypto market to bottom out.
---
We've seen too many stories of political manipulation of central banks. Retail investors are always the ones who suffer in the end. Get used to it.
---
Waller's attitude of "wanting it all and still needing more" is the most dangerous. Sitting on it is like a ticking time bomb.
---
Stop talking about patterns. The lessons from the 70s have been forgotten, and history loves to repeat itself.

The old trick of raising expectations of rate cuts to boost the market, it works every time, but I really can't take it anymore. The history is right there—haven't we learned enough from the lessons of the 70s?

The expectation of rate cuts has been driven up, but the actual occurrence is more frightening. If ETH can break through the technical support, it might be a good time to buy the dip; otherwise, it may still fall.
---
It doesn't matter who is chosen as Federal Reserve Chair; ultimately, it still depends on on-chain data, which truly reflects the intentions of the big players.
---
Haha, another round of political drama. The biggest fear in the crypto circle is uncertainty. I have already positioned myself in ZEC in advance, betting on its safe-haven properties.
---
Sounds good, but even if rate cuts really happen, the crypto market may not necessarily rise. Last time I FOMOed into Dogecoin and suffered a blood loss. Lesson learned.
---
Instead of watching these, it's better to observe the Federal Reserve's real actions. Verbal promises are always the least reliable; technical analysis is the key.
---
This logic is all over the place. When there is a significant rate cut, you'll see what a market crash looks like. Retail investors are still too inexperienced.
---
There is insider news that Waller's appointment will be more friendly to cryptocurrencies. I have already shared the K-line in the group, and this time I should be able to catch the bottom.

Reality show selecting the central bank governor? The script is brilliantly written, but I’m just worried it might end up turning into a blockbuster about inflation.
---
Politicians want to step on the gas, the central bank fears a crash, and the best part for onlookers in the crypto world is whether ETH will buy into this or not.
---
Instead of guessing who will take the seat, it’s better to think about how long the Fed, this century-old institution, can last. Anyway, I don’t believe rate cuts will go smoothly.
---
What sounds good is "economic laws," but in reality, it’s just about whose power is greater. The plotlines in history are too predictable.
---
CPI data speaks louder than Trump’s mouth, and that’s no lie. The market will always be the boss.
---
Haha, choosing a central bank governor through politics is basically a joke. In the end, it’s the data that matters, and there’s no suspense.
