According to Harvard economist Gita Gopinath, the US consumer-price landscape is sitting on a powder keg. The culprits? A combination of fiscal stimulus still pumping through the system and a steadily weakening dollar. Here's why this matters: when the greenback loses strength, imported goods get pricier, which feeds back into inflation expectations. Add on top of that the ongoing fiscal spending, and you've got a recipe for a potential snapback in CPI growth. For crypto holders, this is textbook macro backdrop—dollar depreciation historically correlates with increased interest in alternative assets. The real question is whether the Fed has room to maneuver, or if inflation surprises force their hand sooner than expected.

Dollar devaluation + fiscal stimulus, this combination is indeed a bomb... But honestly, isn't this actually good news for the crypto world?

The depreciation of the US dollar has been evident for a while. Now we're just waiting for the moment when the CPI explodes.

The Federal Reserve is stuck; they haven't finished paying off their credit card debt, and now they want to raise interest rates again. That's hilarious.

Dollar depreciation + fiscal stimulus, this combination is indeed a perfect storm for inflation... Crypto should be taking off now, right?

The US dollar is depreciating, and inflation expectations are rising. This time, the Fed really can't hold on, right?
