Recently, a seasoned market analyst shared an interesting logical chain: the United States, in order to control the oil supply in a certain region and suppress oil prices, will ultimately be forced to initiate large-scale money printing. The political economy behind this is actually quite clear.



Why do I say that? The current ruling team faces a real pressure: the mid-term elections in 2026 and the 2028 presidential election are imminent. To win voter support, they need to do two things—boost nominal economic growth and control gasoline prices. Controlling the oil supply can indeed lower oil prices and appease ordinary consumers. But what about the part of economic growth? That requires fiscal expansion and credit expansion, in other words, liquidity release.

Ideally, if both economic growth and low oil prices are achieved simultaneously, the money printing opportunity will be fully activated. The大量超发的美元流动性 will seek an outlet, flowing into stocks, real estate, commodities, and of course, cryptocurrencies.

As hard assets and fiat hedging tools, Bitcoin naturally becomes one of the beneficiaries. But this analyst is more optimistic about the privacy coin sector; his family office has already heavily allocated to ZEC in Q3 2025. Why choose privacy coins? He believes privacy is an important theme, and ZEC is expected to become a beta in this sector.

Even more interesting is the risk appetite strategy of this office. Currently, they are almost fully invested, with a very low position in USD stablecoins. To achieve excess returns relative to mainstream coins (BTC, ETH), they employ a strategy: sell part of their Bitcoin holdings to increase privacy coin allocations, and sell part of their Ethereum holdings to increase DeFi allocations. The logic is that if the coin selection is right, during a fiat credit expansion cycle, these carefully chosen small-cap coins should outperform the market.

This approach reflects a larger market expectation—the flood of liquidity is coming, and the excess return opportunities of selected assets are within it.

DEFI8.87%

Selling BTC for ZEC? This guy's really bold, he's betting on the liquidity cycle.

ngl this whole "print money to win elections" thesis hits different when you've been liquidated before lmaooo... been there, done that, got the leverage ptsd to prove it. but fr fr the zec play? that's the kind of conviction move that either prints or sends you to copium city. respect the all-in energy tho, even if it makes my risk management PTSD flare up

Printing presses start turning, small coins take off. I buy this logic. Selling BTC to buy ZEC? You’ve got some guts, brother. The Federal Reserve is easing, is privacy coin really the most fragrant? I’m all ears. Full position in privacy coins, if you’re not gambling, then you truly understand. I’ve heard the phrase “liquidity flood” too many times, but is it really coming this time? Is ZEC about to break through this wave, or is it just another cut? Selling mainstream coins to buy small coins, is this going to be a quick win? Privacy is the king, agree plus. During credit expansion cycles, small coins are indeed prone to skyrocketing, but the problem is, you have to live until that day. Full position in small coins in a family office, is this financial suicide or a divine operation?

When the printing press starts running, small-cap currencies become interesting. I feel like this logic might be a bit too optimistic... To be honest, going all-in on DeFi and privacy coins, I guess when liquidity dries up, they'll probably have to leverage up and run away.

The flood of money printing is coming, small coins still have a chance, the key is to select the right projects. --- Full position in privacy coins? That's a bit aggressive, can ZEC hold up? --- To put it simply, it's still a gamble on liquidity. When the Federal Reserve moves, retail investors get caught. --- Selling BTC and small coins—either get rich or become a leek. --- Privacy themes are indeed the next hot spot, but it feels a bit late to enter ZEC now. --- I've heard too many times about the flood of liquidity; when it actually arrives, it’s a different story. --- Full position in small coins by family offices—this kind of courage is truly remarkable. --- Low oil prices + money printing = coin prices rise. The logic is sound, but execution is difficult. --- Political cycles and excess returns—both sound like after-the-fact explanations. --- Configuring ZEC two years early or two years late might not make any money. --- I've heard this kind of analysis too many times; every time, the liquidity that was supposed to come ends up not materializing.
