A Federal Reserve governor weighed in on inflation control this morning, offering a sobering perspective on monetary tightening: bringing down price levels is technically feasible, but the consequences would be severe. The implicit message is clear—the cost of aggressive deflation through tight monetary policy would be pain most of us would rather avoid. This kind of candid acknowledgment from Fed leadership highlights the ongoing tension between inflation targets and real economic outcomes, a dynamic that continues to shape broader market sentiment and asset allocation strategies across traditional and digital asset classes.

Basically, it's about wanting to print money without getting scolded. I understand this move.

In plain terms, the Federal Reserve is just leaving itself an escape route, pretending it can control everything. But when it really gets tough, who can handle it?

Here we go again with this routine? Basically, they want to print money but are afraid to do so, and they have to pretend they're in a dilemma.

Basically, it's about wanting to lower inflation but reluctant to take the medicine. We're already tired of this trick.
