The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) data released Wednesday morning reveals what we’ve been warning about for years: the Federal Reserve’s monetary manipulation is reaching its inevitable endgame. As wholesale inflation supposedly “cooled” with a 0.1% monthly decline versus expectations of a 0.3% rise, Bitcoin responded by surging past $113,700—a clear vote of no confidence in the central banking system itself.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here. The Federal Reserve, that unconstitutional creature from Jekyll Island, is caught between the rock of inflation they created and the hard place of a weakening labor market they engineered. The PPI dropping from July’s alarming 0.9% surge doesn’t represent victory over inflation, it represents the whipsawing chaos of centralized monetary planning.
We’ve witnessed this all before. Central banks inflate, markets distort, then they scramble to “fix” the very problems they created. The fact that traders are now betting on potential 50 basis point rate cuts next week (up from zero probability just a weeks ago) demonstrates the Fed’s desperation, not their competence.
While Keynesian economists puzzle over Bitcoin’s price action compared to gold, we see something they refuse to acknowledge: Bitcoin represents the ultimate free-market money, uncorrupted by government interference. Yes, gold has performed exactly as expected—we’ve both advocated for precious metals as a hedge against fiat debasement for decades. But Bitcoin offers something gold cannot: a completely decentralized, hard monetary policy.
The surge to $113,700 isn’t just a price movement: it’s millions of individuals worldwide voting with their wallets against the Federal Reserve system.
Tomorrow’s Consumer Price Index will likely continue the charade, presenting massaged numbers that bear little resemblance to the actual cost increases Americans face daily. The government’s inflation statistics are as reliable as their promises to balance the budget, which is to say, not at all.
Core PPI rising “only” 2.8% year-over-year versus 3.5% expected? This is statistical manipulation at its finest. Anyone buying groceries, paying rent, or filling their gas tank knows the real inflation rate far exceeds these fabricated figures.
Ethereum’s parallel rise alongside Bitcoin demonstrates that this isn’t just about digital gold, it’s about rebuilding the entire financial infrastructure on trustless, transparent protocols. Smart contracts eliminate the need for the very institutions that have captured our regulatory system and perverted free markets. Solana’s 3.3% surge to $224 further validates that the market is betting on decentralization across multiple platforms.
The 911,000 downward revision in payroll gains—the largest in history—proves what we’ve long suspected: the government’s economic data is pure fiction, designed to support whatever narrative serves their purposes at the moment.
As traders increase their bets on Fed rate cuts (now 10% probability for a 50 basis point cut), remember this: lower rates mean more money printing, more inflation, and more wealth transfer from savers to speculators.
Today’s PPI data and Bitcoin’s response represent more than market movements—they’re symptoms of a dying monetary regime. The Federal Reserve’s days are numbered, not by political decree, but by technological obsolescence. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission to exist. It doesn’t need bailouts. It doesn’t need a board of governors manipulating its supply.
As Alts like Shiba Inu attempt to scale its 200-day moving average and Dogecoin whales accumulate positions, even the “meme coins” are outperforming the dollar. When internet jokes become better stores of value than the world’s reserve currency, the message couldn’t be clearer: the fiat system is hemorrhaging and might bleed out.
