The Fed is about to have a new chair, and the next chair will face the ultimate dilemma of "inflation vs. rate cuts."

Abstract generation in progress

[Crypto World] The Federal Reserve is about to hand over the baton, but this transition won’t be easy. On one hand, Trump is pushing policies that could send prices soaring again, while on the other, he’s pressuring the Fed to hurry up and declare inflation dead—talk about contradictions.

Whoever takes over as the next chair will basically be sitting on a volcano. Even if Trump’s old ally Kevin Hassett lands the job, he’ll likely be walking a tightrope every day. The trickiest issue is rate cuts: if rates don’t come down soon, Trump certainly won’t be happy; but if the Fed loosens policy just to please the White House, they’ll be the ones to take the blame if inflation makes a comeback.

In this game of monetary policy, even the slightest misstep could make things uncomfortable for the Fed—and send shockwaves through global markets.

Hassett's situation is really a living hell—Trump is pushing for rate cuts, inflation is stirring again, and whoever takes over is going to get criticized. --- The volcano crater metaphor is spot on. The Fed really has no way out now. --- Cut rates to please the White House and risk inflation coming back? That playbook is so old, and in the end, the market always pays the price. --- Feels like no matter who takes the position, they'll be nailed to the cross. Kind of feel sorry for the Fed in this game. --- Trump is firing shots from one side and pushing from the other. Being the middleman is just too hard—whether they cut rates or not, it's wrong. --- Inflation isn’t dead yet, but Trump wants to declare it dead. That logic is wild. --- It’s true that the whole world shakes three times because of this. One decision and the entire globe pays the price. --- Instead of arguing about who takes over, it’s better to see who wins this game in the end. Feels like there will be no winners.

Haha, now the real show begins. It's really tough for the new chairman. On one hand, Trump keeps shouting that inflation is dead, and on the other, he wants to print more money. No one can handle this. To cut rates or not to cut rates, that's the real question. The whole world is watching the drama, and we in the crypto space need to keep an even closer eye on it. Can someone really pull off a tightrope walk with style? I have my doubts.

If Hassett really takes office, he’ll probably need to take antacids every day. --- Whether inflation is dead or not is one thing, but Trump is already driving the Fed crazy. --- Rate cuts? Printing money? Both choices are traps. --- Dancing on a volcano—being Fed Chair this term is really a tough job. --- Global markets are trembling with us, and we retail investors can only try to buy the dip or sell the top. --- This is what you call political hijacking of monetary policy—a textbook negative example. --- Instead of watching Hassett walk a tightrope, maybe we should think about how to fish in troubled waters in crypto. --- To put it bluntly, the White House wants growth, the Fed wants stability, and it’s always the ordinary people caught in the middle. --- If you ask me, whoever takes the job will end up being the scapegoat—it’s only a matter of time. --- Being Fed Chair right now is really a thankless and tough job.

Sitting on a volcano is a perfect metaphor. No matter who takes the position, they'll get criticized. --- Trump's move is truly something else. On one hand, he's pushing for inflation; on the other, he wants rate cuts and more liquidity. Isn't that just wanting to have your cake and eat it too? --- The next chair is probably already getting a headache. No one really wants this job. --- If you ask me, this is a hole the Fed dug for itself—a political bargaining chip. --- Are global markets trembling? Our crypto market is even more volatile, haha. --- Will things get any better with Hassett taking over? This time, he may not be able to walk the tightrope. --- If inflation comes back, it doesn't matter who takes the blame—retail investors are the ones who suffer anyway. --- Feels like this job is just a high-level paper tiger—no real power, just following the White House's lead.
