Saw some news in the middle of the night and I'm a bit stunned—the head of the White House Economic Council directly said that the Fed might have to cut interest rates.
This is unusual. In the past, these officials would always talk about monetary policy in a roundabout way, but this time they're laying their cards on the table—clearly, they're getting anxious.
Why the rush? Two numbers tell the story: US national debt has already surpassed $30 trillion, and just paying the interest each year costs $1.2 trillion. Where does that money come from? Printing, of course. On the other hand, last week bank reserves dropped by $3.83 billion in one shot, and the market is clearly feeling the liquidity crunch.
One side is desperate to borrow, the other is starving for cash. Rate cuts? Seems like there aren’t many other options left.
What if they really do cut?
Liquidity is coming. The founder of MicroStrategy recently claimed that Bitcoin’s market cap could hit $200 trillion in 20 years—his reasoning is that it can hedge against fiat devaluation. Sounds exaggerated, but the logic is easy to understand: the more money gets printed, the more valuable hard assets become.
The IMF also issued an urgent warning lately, saying stablecoins threaten central bank authority. Think about it—why are they so nervous? Because the foundation of the old order is starting to crack.
Coincidentally, there was another move last night: 77.86 million ASTER tokens were burned, permanently destroyed. This kind of deflationary play isn’t rare in the meme coin space, but the timing is interesting—liquidity is about to be injected from outside, while supply gets reduced internally. This liquidity-driven rally feels like it’s around the corner.
But don’t get too excited yet.
BlackRock is predicting rate cuts on one hand, while pouring cold water on the idea with the other: if inflation returns next year, the market could collapse. So this round is more like a “lifeline shot,” not the starting gun for a bull market.
Smart money has already been increasing their holdings of long-term US treasuries. Their logic is clear: ride the short-term wave, but never go all-in, always be ready to pull out.
For us? There are definitely opportunities—when liquidity comes, something always floats to the top. But don’t forget the undercurrents below—recurring inflation, economic recession, these landmines could blow up at any time.

30 trillion in debt, 38.3 billion in reserves evaporated... This isn't an interest rate cut, it's a blatant signal of liquidity injection. Smart money has already been stocking up on US Treasuries, while we're still just watching the show.

If rate cuts lead to another surge in inflation, it's game over. This round is just a temporary lifeline, don't get sucked in.

Printing money to bail out 30 trillion in debt is basically betting that BTC can prop up the mess of fiat debt... it's a bit crazy, but there's really no other way, right?

30 trillion in debt, with 1.2 trillion in annual interest payments—once you see these numbers, it's clear that printing money is inevitable; the only question is when they'll come clean. Predictions like Bitcoin reaching 200 trillion in 20 years sound like hype, but the logic holds: once the money printer starts, it can't stop, and the scarcity of hard assets will always make them valuable. The timing of ASTER's token burn is indeed subtle; when liquidity comes, something will always rise to the surface.

30 trillion national debt and 38.3 billion in reserves evaporated overnight, the logic chain is too clear— the Fed really has no choice. Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat? I believe it, but the problem is that by the time retail investors follow the trend, institutions have already exited.

Paying interest on 30 trillion in government bonds requires 1.2 trillion; the only way out of this deadlock is printing money, and a rate cut is definitely coming. When liquidity floods in, hard assets will inevitably become valuable. I’ve already gone all in on Bitcoin.
