Current inflation is actually quite difficult to bring down. You can tell just by looking at the M2 data—the stickiness is getting stronger. Instead of stubbornly trying to lower it to 2%, it would be more realistic to directly adjust the target to 3%.
In this environment, the purchasing power of the US dollar keeps shrinking. Assets like BTC and ETH have instead become options for fighting inflation.

It's true, just looking at the M2 data is upsetting. Might as well just accept fate and adjust to 3%—less of a headache.
Printing money every day, the dollar depreciates, so why not just go all in on BTC?
Wait, this logic doesn't add up... Even if inflation is high, the crypto market doesn't necessarily go up.
I agree that M2 is sticky, but can BTC really hedge? Doesn't seem like it's really worked in history.
Forcing 2% is definitely idealistic, but 3% isn't exactly good news either.
Dollar shrinking is spot on, so we need to stock up on real assets.
That said, in this environment, dollar-cost averaging into BTC actually feels more comfortable—if it drops, you just buy more.
This analysis is a bit too optimistic; inflation ≠ BTC pump, my friend.
Instead of stressing over M2, it's better to pay more attention to on-chain data.
Seriously though, it's not that simple, but we definitely need to think about asset allocation.

Seriously, when you lay out the M2 data, it's truly hopeless. Forcing it down by 2% is pure fantasy; might as well accept reality and adjust it to 3%.
What can the US dollar still buy? You really have to get on board with BTC, otherwise, you'll just passively get cut.

Ha, with this M2 stickiness, even the central bank has to admit defeat.
Can't bring it down, so just change the target? Same old trick.
The dollar's shrinking—why not get on board fast? I've already jumped into BTC.
3% inflation? Then I need to stock up on even more coins.
Rather than waiting for the central bank to bail out the market, better to save yourself.
Seriously, holding coins is the right move.

Honestly, the stickiness of M2 has been obvious for a while now. Clinging to 2% is just fooling ourselves.

Instead of talking nonsense about reducing inflation, it’s better to allocate some BTC—at least that way you won’t get fleeced by the Fed.
---
The logic makes sense. 3% is much more realistic than 2%. The market has already priced this in.
---
Everyone can see the dollar shrinking. If you’re not getting in now, what are you waiting for?
---
Forcing inflation down is like trying to stop a car with your bare hands. It’s safer to allocate some crypto assets.
---
The M2 data is right there; 2% is simply impossible. Better to accept 3% sooner rather than later.

A 3% inflation target sounds good, but where is the real arbitrage opportunity? The liquidity depth data on DEX has already reflected this.
