#美国民主党BlueVault 🔄 The Power Struggle of the Federal Reserve Intensifies—How Should the Market Respond?



The recent developments are quite interesting. Trump backtracked on the plan to fire Powell but simultaneously floated two potential successors, Waller and Haskett. It seems like a setback, but in reality, it’s building his own chessboard.

**The Short-term vs. Long-term Double Game:**

Global central bank pressure combined with the complexity of judicial procedures has temporarily cooled the high-level game. The most extreme panic scenarios in the market have been postponed, providing some buffer for risk sentiment.

But this is not a genuine concession. Waller and Haskett are both recognized as "Trump policy allies," and Powell’s term is effectively entering its countdown. The latest Beige Book from the Fed signals—inflation remains sticky, and tariff shocks are fully unfolding. Even with a change in personnel, the path to rate cuts is much more difficult than imagined.

**The Reality of the Crypto Market:**

In the short term, easing uncertainty may lead to a slight increase in risk appetite. But what’s more worth paying attention to in the long run is: monetary policy is becoming noticeably politicized. The political premium in the dollar system is soaring, which just happens to support the long-term narrative of $BTC "decentralization and anti-censorship."

What Trump actually wants is not for someone to be ousted, but for a "obedient Federal Reserve." When central bank policies evolve into political tools, the foundation for re-pricing global assets is quietly changing. $ETH and the entire crypto ecosystem need to rethink their position within this new macro framework.

Oh dear, basically it's just a change of packaging without changing the substance. Trump’s move is really slick. The real game has just begun; the crypto world has to dance to the political tune. Powell’s countdown has already begun, and this narrative for BTC is solid. Politicized Federal Reserve, a spring for crypto? Just thinking about it is exciting. Whether the dollar system collapses or not, at least the Federal Reserve has truly been hijacked. That’s why I’m all in on BTC. Playing political tools will eventually lead to decentralization. Short-term buffers don’t mean safety; beware that this rebound could be a big trap. How long can the central bank’s last stubbornness last? Let’s wait and see. Wosh, Hasset, whoever takes over, they can’t escape Trump’s grasp—laughable. Political premium surge = warning of fiat devaluation. This logic is sound. Is the path to rate cuts difficult? Isn’t that just advertising for BTC? The entire macro framework has changed; if you’re still looking at technicals, you’re too amateur.

It's another game of power, Trump’s move is indeed very clever. Obedient Federal Reserve... Basically, they just want a puppet. This wave of BTC might really take off. The politicized US dollar, I am bearish on it. Powell should have stepped down a long time ago. Wosh and Hasett are both more obedient than each other, hilarious. This is the real bearish logic on the dollar. Central banks have become political pawns, no wonder we need BTC. Is the path to interest rate cuts difficult? Then wouldn't holding coins be even more necessary? The US dollar system is being eroded, but no one dares to say it. Trump: I didn't mean to fire him, just to show you two. The whole situation is justifying BTC.

Haha Powell is playing psychological warfare, the real knives are behind the scenes. It sounds like the central bank is about to be tamed, maybe BTC has a reason to go up now? So, a politicized Federal Reserve might actually be the springtime for crypto? That logic is a bit extreme. Same old, same old, eventually they’ll have to cut interest rates, or this debt pile will really become unmanageable. Feeling like political tools are more terrifying than anything else; if the dollar’s credit really collapses, that would be a big problem. I’ve never heard of Wosh and Hasit at all. Is Trump trying to pick a puppet? Haha. Tariffs + political central bank, is this actually good news for crypto? Opening up new ideas. The term "countdown" is used perfectly, so Powell really is going down. Uncertainty easing is the last fishing rod before being harvested, I believe it.

Playing psychological warfare again, Trump, this old fox, is really good at deceiving. No more pretending, just looking for someone obedient. This wave of BTC indeed has logic; the central bank becoming a political tool is a brilliant point. Short-term buffer, long-term hidden dangers—this routine is standard operation. Powell should have known his fate long ago... The Fed's politicization, in plain terms, is about the collapse of trust. Finally, someone has pierced through this layer of window paper.

Basically, it's Trump setting up a stall; no matter who replaces him, they have to listen to him.

Obedient Federal Reserve, this is just too much. The crypto world should have been independent long ago.

The methods of manipulating policies are so obvious, no wonder they want to hoard BTC.
