The traditional "policy illness" in the financial markets is becoming the best opportunity for the crypto market to overtake on the curve.

Speaking of which, Trump, observing Wall Street's indifferent attitude towards GDP data, directly fired on social media: "Are these people brain-dead? Turning good news into bad news!" Behind this critique, it actually hits the most painful spot of traditional financial markets.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that Q3 GDP grew at an annualized rate of 4.3%, well above the market expectation of 3.2%. Logically, such data should trigger a market rally, but what happened? The stock market actually fell, and Bitcoin even broke through $90,000. This bizarre phenomenon of "good news being bad news" essentially reveals the over-reliance of traditional financial markets on policy signals.

**Reallocation of Federal Reserve Power**

Trump's restructuring of the Federal Reserve has gone far beyond initial expectations. This is not just a personnel change but a redefinition of the power map within the U.S. monetary system.

In August 2025, Trump dismissed Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook on charges of "mortgage fraud," creating a record as the first time in 111 years that a president has removed a Fed board member. This move is widely seen as political pressure, aiming to strengthen control over monetary policy through warnings.

More critically, Trump's team is gradually shifting monetary authority from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury Department. Joseph Wang, former head of trading at the New York Fed, warned: "The market seriously underestimates Trump's determination to control the Fed, and this change could lead the market into an unprecedented situation."

Against this backdrop of power restructuring, traditional financial markets that rely on policy signals will become increasingly volatile, while assets like Bitcoin, unaffected by single policies, are becoming a more stable choice.

honestly this is giving "how to verify your supply chain when the whole kitchen's on fire" energy... like, traditional markets are basically a poorly audited farm-to-table restaurant where the chef keeps changing his mind about what "fresh" means. bitcoin's just sitting there with immutable proof-of-freshness while the fed's playing musical chairs with monetary policy lmao

Really, the traditional financial policies and game-playing are too exhausting; we should turn the tables.

The traditional financial playbook has indeed been played out, and whenever policy signals emerge, it's all bad news. What we're really after is freedom.

The old tricks of traditional finance should have collapsed long ago. Instead, good news causes a sell-off, which is truly ironic.

Good news turns into bad news, traditional finance indeed underperforms Traditional finance is just being hijacked by policies, while our crypto circle has more freedom Trump's move was really ruthless, no one can see through the power restructuring Bitcoin's stability is indeed much stronger than the stock market The more chaotic the financial markets, the better the opportunity for us to get in Wall Street's logic is really outdated, it’s time to make way Opportunities brought by power shifts, smart people should understand Policy dependence is in its late stage, crypto is the antidote When the stock market twitches, it's time to go all in on Bitcoin The Federal Reserve has lost its power, the central bank's power game has begun

Good news turns into bad news. In plain terms, Wall Street is being hijacked by policies. We're just here to watch the show. Power shifts back and forth, but in the end, the ordinary people foot the bill. Bitcoin remains relatively quiet. Can GDP data even be used as a negative signal? The traditional financial markets have long been terminally ill. Stay alert. The Federal Reserve is being reformed, the Treasury Department is taking over... The game of power, the crypto market has avoided it, and that’s the biggest win. Stocks fall, cryptocurrencies fall, indicating there are no safe assets. Anyone who sticks to trading discipline has long seen through this routine. We've seen plenty of Wall Street's reliance on policies. Bitcoin’s supply line is indeed more stable, and positions have been adjusted long ago. Policies are changing, and market psychology is collapsing. True survivors know when to step away from these pawns.
