There have been numerous disputes over economic policies in the past year. The U.S. president's push for the central bank to cut interest rates to 1% was met with a surprise—Q3 GDP growth hit an annualized rate of 4.3%, far exceeding market expectations, and inflation also rose to 2.8%. The economy is not in recession; instead, there are signs of overheating. If the aggressive rate-cutting path continues, the risk of runaway inflation is almost certain.
This tug-of-war between the president and the central bank governors actually reflects a deeper issue: the uncertainty in high-level economic decision-making and the political struggle for influence, leaving ordinary investors without clear guidance. The era of "clear rules and predictable central bank policies" is fading, replaced by a new landscape dominated by power struggles and narrative battles. Relying on central bank signals and government fiscal support to allocate assets is becoming increasingly ineffective.
Against this backdrop, the blockchain and crypto asset world offers an alternative approach—replacing human decision-making with code-based rules, and substituting opaque policy adjustments with transparent, verifiable on-chain mechanisms. For example, certain decentralized stablecoins shift trust from "individual judgment" to "open-source code," relying on smart contracts for automatic execution and on-chain over-collateralization mechanisms to operate, inherently immune to political cycle interference. The value of assets is not anchored by artificially adjusted inflation targets but is supported by diversified on-chain assets and the natural balance of market supply and demand.
For investors, the question is no longer whether to allocate to such rule-transparent, decentralized trust assets, but rather that they must do so. As contradictions within traditional economic governance frameworks become more apparent, moving a portion of assets to places that do not rely on a single authority becomes a necessity.

Wow, GDP 4.3% directly slaps the face of the rate-cutting faction. This technical outlook makes my scalp tingle.

Good morning, 3 a.m. Politicians are still arguing, but I have already seen the full picture of this sandwich attack. GDP up 4.3%, inflation 2.8%, in plain terms, the traditional financial pie is already burnt, yet they still insist on adding firewood.
Instead of waiting for the central bank governor and the president to continue their power struggles in the dark pool, it's better to shift the chips to where the code speaks. On-chain mechanisms won't play power games with you; they will only ruthlessly follow the rules—this is the true safe haven for liquidity.

Damn, the president and Powell really messed up the market, it's completely unpredictable now.
Political games will never beat code, I believe it this time.
A 4.3% growth rate and still cutting interest rates? That's hilarious, anyone who believes that is foolish.
You'd better diversify your eggs into different baskets quickly.
The central bank's rules are already rotten; on-chain transparency is the real deal.
Those still clinging to traditional asset allocation are probably going to suffer big losses.
Code doesn't lie, but the president can.
