#通货膨胀与物价 After reading the Federal Reserve's latest statements, I have to say one thing: inflation, this obstacle in the way, has not been truly tamed yet. The opposition voices from voters like Goolsbee and Schmidt are worth paying serious attention to; they are not playing political games but stating a reality — the business community and consumers still see prices as the number one threat.

This reminds me of a often overlooked rule: **When the macro environment worsens, the projects that cut leeks tend to thrive the most**. Why? Because people are eager to find a way out, FOMO emotions are at an all-time high, and defensive psychology collapses across the board. I've seen too many friends get caught up in various "high-yield mining" schemes during inflation panic, only to be wiped out in less than a quarter.

The Fed may only cut interest rates once next year, which means the high-interest-rate environment will last longer. In this context, projects promising "300% annualized returns" and on-chain products claiming to "hedge inflation" are precisely the most dangerous. They exploit your fear of rising prices.

The real defensive strategy is not chasing high yields but placing assets where they can truly resist inflation — scarce assets like Bitcoin, or honest value projects. Goolsbee indicates that interest rates may be significantly lowered next year, but that's a story for later; in the next half-year to a year, vigilance must be at its maximum.

Living longer is harder than living faster, but it is more meaningful.
