President Trump just fired Fed Governor Lisa Cook. The headlines frame it as a “markets wobble” story—dollar down, equities choppy, Bitcoin caught in the crossfire. But let’s not miss the deeper signal. When the most powerful institution in global finance starts looking like a pawn in D.C.’s political theater, the illusion of “independent monetary policy” dies another death.
This is why we Bitcoin.
Central banks love to preach “credibility” and “independence,” but the Fed is ultimately a government body, run by political appointees, answerable to elected officials with short-term incentives. When rate policy can be reshuffled at the stroke of a presidential pen, is it really “independent”? Or is it just another lever of state power, dressed up in academic jargon and marble columns?
Bitcoin doesn’t fire governors. It doesn’t bend to election cycles. It doesn’t adjust monetary policy to juice markets before a November vote. Its supply schedule is fixed, apolitical, and immune to the whims of whoever happens to sit in the Oval Office. That’s not a “crypto feature”—that’s monetary sanity.
The irony? Every time politicians meddle with the Fed, they accidentally market Bitcoin. The more the fiat system reveals its fragility, the more obvious it becomes that the only real hedge is outside the system altogether. Not gold, not stocks, not a foreign currency that’s just another central bank IOU—but Bitcoin: neutral, scarce, un-censorable money.
The dollar slipped on the Cook news. Risk assets buckled. Bitcoin wobbled too—but remember: volatility is the tax you pay for early adoption of an apolitical base layer. Fiat systems wobble for political reasons. Bitcoin wobbles because it’s repricing a revolution.
So here’s the takeaway: if the money printer can be hired or fired at will, your hedge had better be something no politician can touch. #Bitcoin
