The minutes of a Federal Reserve meeting in September 2020 were recently declassified, revealing a key policy history that had been sealed for five years.
At that time, the inflation rate was only 1.3%, but Powell led the push for an aggressive interest rate guidance—keeping the benchmark rate near zero. He promised that unless the labor market achieved full employment and inflation consistently exceeded 2%, there would be no rate hikes. Although several Fed officials voiced objections during the meeting, and two chairs even questioned the decision on the spot, it was ultimately approved.
Why was such a decision made? The reason lies in the Fed's recent adjustment of its policy framework, abandoning the traditional preemptive rate hikes to combat inflation. This new framework seemed flexible, but problems soon arose.
What happened next was visible to the market. Starting in 2021, inflation began to rise, and by mid-2022, it had directly surpassed 7%. However, due to commitments made earlier, the Fed delayed rate hikes until March 2022, missing the optimal window to control inflation. Powell later publicly admitted this mistake, confessing that he would never make such long-term promises again.
Interestingly, the minutes also show that not only voting officials were concerned about the risks of overcommitment, but other members also raised doubts. In the end, everyone chose to compromise collectively.
What does this delayed truth tell us? It indicates that under the special circumstances of the pandemic, there were disagreements within the Fed regarding policy direction, but ultimately a relatively aggressive stance was adopted. This also explains why the Fed's response to inflation in its early stages was so delayed.
For the crypto market, macro policies are always key variables. The interest rate policies laid out at that time have continued to influence the Fed's attitude toward rate cuts to this day. The current question is whether the public release of these minutes will further alter market expectations of the Fed's future policy pace. In an environment where macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain, how should crypto assets be allocated? This is likely a question every market participant is contemplating.

Powell saat itu benar-benar bertaruh besar, baru mengeluarkan catatan sekarang agak terlambat
---
Jadi jebakan yang dipasang lima tahun lalu, pasar kripto masih menginjak-injaknya
---
Pendapat internal yang tidak seragam pun bisa disetujui, ini luar biasa
---
Yang paling lucu adalah baru menyesal setelah kejadian, kenapa saat itu tidak mendengarkan suara penolakan
---
Sepertinya langkah penurunan suku bunga berikutnya akan bergantung pada bagaimana dokumen ini mempengaruhi ekspektasi pasar
---
Kompromi kolektif = tanggung jawab bersama, pola ini terlalu akrab
---
Bagaimana reaksi terhadap inflasi saat itu begitu lambat, sekarang baru mengerti
---
Pengaruh kebijakan makro terhadap mata uang benar-benar besar, tidak heran dua tahun terakhir ini begitu kacau
---
Powell sendiri sudah mengakui kesalahan, tapi kerusakan sudah terjadi
---
Sekarang mengungkapkan ini semua, apakah ingin menyalahkan orang lain atau benar-benar refleksi

Sudah lama ingin melihat dokumen ini, akhirnya kebenaran terungkap. Powell benar-benar salah taruhan tahun itu
Sebenarnya saat itu sudah ada yang melihatnya dengan jelas, hanya saja tidak berani mengatakannya. Sekarang jika dilihat kembali semuanya jadi bahan tertawaan
Ini menjelaskan mengapa pasar kripto selama dua tahun terakhir begitu ekstrem, semua salah siapa kalau bukan Federal Reserve yang menanam bom waktu ini
Yang paling menyakitkan adalah mereka sendiri juga tahu ada risiko, tapi tetap memaksa untuk bertanggung jawab bersama. Ber kompromi bisa berakibat fatal
Kebijakan pelonggaran selama lebih dari dua tahun, para investor retail kita sudah dua kali terkena dampaknya
Saat mencetak uang semua orang bahagia, tapi saat harus membayar kembali mulai menghitung kerugian, ini adalah pola dari Federal Reserve
Baru dikeluarkan setelah lima tahun, betapa merasa bersalahnya mereka. Dokumen ini seharusnya sudah dipublikasikan sejak lama
Sekarang tahu seperti apa, apa gunanya, Bitcoin sudah jatuh ke dasar lembah, selisih informasi memang sangat mematikan
Seluruh siklus pasar telah dikendalikan oleh satu keputusan mereka ini, pikir-pikir lagi benar-benar menyebalkan
Singkatnya, inflasi yang dipaksakan saat itu demi menyelamatkan pasar sekarang tidak bisa lagi dilepaskan
Janji Powell benar-benar bodoh, tidak heran dia kemudian mengakui kegagalannya
Sekarang, masalah lima tahun yang lalu masih membara, di dunia kripto ini tidak bisa lepas dari kebijakan makro yang mengikuti irama

Sederhananya, Powell dulu salah taruhan, dan malah menjerumuskan seluruh pasar ke dalam kemalangan
Rasanya ada orang-orang yang sadar di dalam Federal Reserve, hanya saja mereka terjebak
Keputusan tahun 2020 sekarang terlihat benar-benar konyol, inflasi sudah melewati 7 baru sadar
Itulah sebabnya saya tidak percaya satu kata pun dari janji mereka, hanya cek lisan saja
Kalau tahu begini, mengapa harus di awal, sekarang mau menghapus catatan dan ingin membersihkan nama? Terlambat, bro

Sederhananya, itu adalah tindakan bunuh diri kolektif pada tahun lalu, dan baru sekarang diungkapkan bahwa "ah, kami salah".
Saya sangat akrab dengan metode ini, pasar crypto juga sering melakukan hal yang sama, baru menyadari setelah terlambat.
