Dollar Pauses, Bitcoin Perks Up: What the Fed's Silence *Really* Means

Dollar Doomed? Why the Fed's About to Nuke the Greenback (Again) So, the dollar's tanking. Big whoop. We're supposed to be surprised that the Fed's printing money faster than my neighbor's kid collects Pokemon cards? Give me a break. Wall Street's all aflutter because some Fed governor, Waller, hinted at a rate cut in December. Oh, and Trump's already picking out his next puppet for Fed chair in 2026. Seriously? We're talking about something that's YEARS away. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast yesterday. Kristina Hooper from Man Group – and who the hell are they, anyway? – is worried about a "shadow Fed chair." As if Powell's *actually* in charge now. Please. It's all theater. Markets are pricing in an 87% chance of a rate cut this month. 87%! Back on November 19th, it was only 30%. What changed? Did someone find a magic money tree? No, the market is just a bunch of sheep running off a cliff. Dollar heads for ninth straight loss as Fed outlook dominates By Reuters

Ukraine Peace = Euro Savior? Pull the Other One.

Euro Hopes and Ukraine Dreams (Yeah, Right) The euro's up a bit because...wait for it...there might be peace in Ukraine. Oh, sweet naive investors. Newsflash: Russia and the U.S. "didn't reach a compromise." Color me shocked. Analysts think the euro could rally if there's a ceasefire. Okay, sure, and I'm expecting pigs to fly out my window. Defence spending is supposed to help the economy? That's like saying cancer treatment is good for your health, offcourse it's a nessesity.

Yen Intervention: Another Rigged Game for the Elite?

Yen Intervention: The Inevitable Trainwreck The yen's getting hammered, and everyone's waiting for the Bank of Japan to step in. Washington's gonna whine if it hits 160 against the dollar, because Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (who?) blames the BoJ for undervaluing the yen. It may still require intervention if the yen continues to weaken, he added. Here's my question: why are we even pretending this matters? It's all a rigged game. Currencies go up, currencies go down. The rich get richer, and the rest of us get screwed. Speaking of getting screwed, my internet bill is due, and Comcast is threatening to shut me off. Maybe I should just move to a yurt and live off the grid. At least then I wouldn't have to listen to these clowns on TV.

Bitcoin's "Bounce": A Dead Cat or Just More Fool's Gold?

Bitcoin Bounces (For Now) Bitcoin's up 2%. Two freakin' percent! After dropping more than $18,000 in November. People are "in the mood for taking on a bit more risk." What risk? The risk of losing everything? Look, I'm not saying crypto is a complete scam...okay, maybe I am. It's a digital tulip craze. It'll crash again, and all the "investors" will cry about it on Reddit. So, What's the Real Story? The dollar's decline isn't some shocking event. It's the inevitable consequence of printing money like it's going out of style. The Fed will keep doing what it always does: bail out the banks and screw over the average Joe. And we're all just supposed to sit here and take it. Maybe I'm just too cynical. Nah.
