Economics

Tariffs create a no-win situation by simultaneously slowing growth AND increasing prices. Put simply, the Fed cannot counter these effects without either worsening inflation or further dampening economic growth.

This leaves us facing a troubling scenario:

1. If the Fed reduces its balance sheet by letting bonds mature without replacement or selling Treasuries/securities, this tightens financial conditions when the economy is already vulnerable.

2. If the Fed raises the federal funds rate, borrowing costs increase across the board, potentially crushing growth when the economy is already decelerating.

Regardless of which path is chosen, increased market volatility seems inevitable. Crypto may actually become relatively more stable, and with inflation, crypto prices rise accordingly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

We're so far past opinions now. Sad indeed. 

Unfortunately a lot of people cling to them, as if they're impactful, because they believe in an idea and not what's in front of them. 

Not /s

Felt like those opinions mattered once upon a time. Sadly I don’t think it will help much this go around.
