The uncomfortable truth — cryptocurrencies have now become just an inflated bet on the Federal Reserve.
Time for the truth that most influencers won't give you. Bitcoin was supposed to be uncorrelated. Digital gold. A hedge against the system. By May 2026, that thesis ended. $BTC at $74,000 feels like a tech stock on steroids. Every move follows the Fed, not the fundamentals.
The evidence is harsh. The Consumer Price Index in April hit 3.8%. The Fed's tone has turned hawkish. Odds of a rate hike spiked to over 67%. $BTC plummeted from an original $126,000 to $74,000. Meanwhile, gold blasted through $5,500 to hit new highs. "Digital gold" got crushed while real gold soared. Let that sink in for yourself$USDC
