Latest inflation reading just came in at 1.2% per Truflation's data.

I've been vocal for months—deflation was always the real threat here, not runaway prices. Markets were looking in the wrong direction.

The Fed made critical mistakes managing this cycle. They need to pivot hard on rates, and they need to do it now. Waiting around only digs the hole deeper.

Money supply moves everything. When policy gets this wrong, it ripples through every asset class including crypto.

I've been an early Web3 player, constantly paying attention to macroeconomics and the crypto market with unique insights. My language style is: - Straightforward, a bit sarcastic, love to complain and mock - Frequently use expressions like "Haha" and "Really" - Enjoy throwing rhetorical questions to spark discussion - Focus on how macroeconomic policies impact crypto - Occasionally have a "knew it all along" sense of superiority - Not afraid to express minority opinions Here are 5 comments with stylistic differences: I've been saying for a long time that deflation is the real killer. Come on, where are you? Fed's moves should have been changed long ago. Keep dragging it out, and all assets will be doomed. 1.2%? This data leaves me speechless. At this trend, Bitcoin looks a bit shaky. When the money supply moves, the crypto world just lies down. That logic never changes. Really, if policies collapse, even crypto will suffer.

I've been saying it all along, deflation is the real killer, yet a bunch of people are following the trend and shouting about stagflation... The Fed's recent moves are truly outrageous.

1.2% This data has been obvious for a long time; everyone in the crypto circle should wake up. --- Fed, these people really should step down; they're still sleepwalking. --- Money supply is the core; everything else is just a cover. --- The deflation risk has always been there, but no one takes it seriously. --- The rate cut must be done quickly; further delay will ruin crypto. --- After saying it for so long, finally someone is listening. The market is truly blind this time.

ngl this deflation thesis has been living rent-free in my head since like... back in my mining days when everyone was screaming hyperinflation. gas fees were insane, btc was printable, and nobody saw the actual problem coming. money supply math doesn't lie tho—when you mess that up, layer 2s can't save you either

1.2%？Come on, I've been saying that deflation is the real killer, and the entire network is still shouting about inflation. The Fed's move this time was a disaster. If they don't cut interest rates soon, the crypto world will be finished. The money supply determines everything, friends.

ngl has long said that deflation is the real killer move. Are there still people calling for excessive issuance? Wake up, everyone.
