With the release of a wave of CPI, as we wished, the probability of an interest rate cut in September has directly reached over 90%, and the official statements are extremely solid in boosting morale. The excitement over the interest rate cut has overshadowed a very important piece of news, which is that Trump plans to expand the candidates for the Fed chairman. Before this, he had already broadened the candidates for the interest rate cut decision. This chain reaction is all based on the prior issue of data falsification. If this matter can be achieved, and it happens within Trump's term, the

This is not good!

On August 11 (UTC+8), the U.S. July CPI data will be released on August 12 at 20:30.

Francesco Pesole, a forex strategist at ING, stated that ahead of tomorrow's data release, it is important to note that the threshold for a hawkish surprise from the Fed has become higher. Given the deterioration in the labor market, if the core CPI month-on-month is

Why is it said that once a person hoards Bitcoin, they are done for? When they realize that after a night's sleep, the money made from Bitcoin can match what others earn in a year, they can no longer wake up early to clock in for a dead-end salary. When they see through inflation and currency devaluation, knowing that bank deposits are just a slow loss, they can no longer be at ease as a "deposit-type talent." When they return home for the New Year and find that the money their relatives saved in a year doesn't even match their unrealized gains from a minor trend, they can no longer believe th

A member of the Curve community, phil_00Llama, recently initiated a proposal suggesting to "stop all further Layer 2 development," recommending to retain the deployed L2s but terminate further development.

He also argues that L2 technology is evolving rapidly and has a short lifespan, leading to significant operational pressure. He thinks the development team could focus their efforts on more valuable
