Next week is the Federal Reserve’s interest rate meeting, and the market has long treated a rate cut as a certainty. Economists have even calculated that there may be two more rounds of rate cuts after March next year. The White House has also been sending signals recently, making it clear—it’s time to act.
But interestingly, not everyone is celebrating. A major bank recently threw cold water on the situation: if monetary policy becomes too aggressive, the market might actually panic. Why? Because that could mean there are bigger problems in the economy.
Even stranger, due to the government shutdown causing delays in the release of key economic data, the Federal Reserve is almost making its decision blindfolded this time. Everyone is guessing, but no one really knows the answer.
Still, some money has already started to move. Fidelity Investments’ CEO publicly stated a few days ago that she holds Bitcoin, even calling it the “digital gold standard.” Last month, publicly listed mining company Cango mined over 500 BTC in one go, and now holds more than 7,000 coins. These funds seem to be taking sides early, treating Bitcoin as insurance against uncertainty.
So the question is:
If rate cuts really do happen, will they ignite a new round of market rallies? Or could this actually be a warning sign that the economy can’t hold up?
History tells us that the best opportunities are often hidden when everyone is arguing the most. Which side are you on this time?

Making decisions blindly, that's just ridiculous... How can you place an order without any data?

Blind decision-making is really something else this time, the Fed is purely guessing.
The Fed's blind decision-making is hilarious, everyone is betting.
"Digital Gold Standard"—haha, that name is really something.
Making decisions without key data is truly absurd.
If rate cuts come, is it going to boom or is it a sign of economic trouble? That's a good question.
I think the real opportunity lies in this uncertainty.
We can only see clearly once the data catches up.

Blind decision-making, who would dare to follow this... there's no data at all.

Making decisions blindly? Isn't that just gambling? It's all imagination driving the trades.

I can't figure out whether they're saving the market or saving the economy.
Is Bitcoin really the best insurance this time?
