So, bro, here’s what’s up with the economy today. The U.S. just released its inflation numbers, and basically, prices are creeping up. The core inflation rate jumped a little, which means things aren’t getting cheaper anytime soon. People’s salaries did go up by 0.4%, but their spending went up even more—0.7%. It’s like your salary got a small raise, but your monthly expenses decided to sprint ahead.
Now, let’s talk about ETH. Every time ETH’s price dips, guess who’s buying? BlackRock. They’re holding ETH down on purpose. Why? So they can monopolize it. If ETH becomes too decentralized, it could threaten U.S. financial control. The proof? BlackRock dropped $83 million on ETH, but the price barely moved.
Here’s how they do it: BlackRock tells Jane Street (a big trading firm) to short ETH and sell a bunch of it, keeping the price low. Meanwhile, they quietly buy it up. Jane Street gets ETH through off-market deals (OTC) from places like Binance. Binance, in turn, collects ETH from transaction fees on their exchange. But BlackRock can’t just buy directly from Jane Street—they have to go through an SEC-approved exchange like Coinbase, so they stay within the rules.
This isn’t just about ETH. When XRP, SOL, HBAR, or even DOGE get their ETFs, the same thing will happen. It’s a waiting game—takes about eight months. And by the time regular folks think it’s time to buy, the big players have already cashed in. That’s why people say, “ETF is a sell-the-news event.” The rich don’t want to hold the bag for years—they want you to.
Now, about tariffs—people freak out over them, but they actually push inflation up. Who pays these tariffs? The public, not the exporting country. But tariffs do boost the U.S. economy by increasing money circulation. Trump’s using tariffs as a way to make other countries’ currencies weaker, so when the U.S. prints more dollars, inflation doesn’t spike too hard because other nations absorb the extra supply.
And here’s the bigger picture: Money isn’t actually “money”—it’s just an IOU from the central bank. Back in the day, every dollar was backed by gold (1 USD = 0.88 grams of gold). But in 1971, Nixon ditched that system, letting the dollar float freely. To keep demand for dollars high, the U.S. made a deal with Saudi Arabia—every oil trade had to be in dollars. That’s the birth of the Petrodollar. But in reality, this deal didn’t really protect Saudi Arabia—it locked them into relying on the U.S., giving America massive leverage over them.
So, at the end of the day, money isn’t really a store of value anymore. It’s just government-issued debt that we all agree to use. That’s why the question isn’t “Why tax people when the government can print money?” It’s actually, “Why tax people when the government can print debt?” Sounds dumb, right? Exactly.
And about Trump—he wants to cut red tape and hand out loans to boost the economy. Sounds nice, but increasing loans just increases inflation. If someone tells you Bitcoin crashed because of tariffs, don’t even argue—it’s deeper than that. The real game is controlled by the Fed, not government policies.
So yeah, that’s the tea. Don’t get FOMO, don’t just screenshot charts—stack up real money and play the long game.
