Economic data is looking good, so why is the market panicking?

US Q3 GDP growth reached 4.2%, exceeding expectations. Logically, this should be good news. But the reversal has occurred—stock markets not only failed to rise but have instead fallen into anxiety. The market logic seems to be inverted: strong data has become a catalyst for rate hike expectations, causing investors to become nervous. Some politicians have openly stated, "A strong economy shouldn't be punished. In the past, good news would boost the market, but now it’s scaring Wall Street to the core. It’s time to change this script."

A deeper issue is staring us in the face. The purchasing power of the dollar has evaporated by about 90% since 1971, meaning inflation continues to erode personal wealth. Yet the entire market remains stuck in the old mindset of "economic growth = central bank rate hikes," unable to turn the corner.

During this window of expectation mismatch, funds are beginning to seek new outlets. Creative token projects within the on-chain ecosystem are gaining popularity, especially in an environment optimized for low Gas fees. Many investors see these as new opportunities for strategic positioning. The rules of the game are being redefined, and the market is exploring new value narratives—are you keeping up with the pace?

Good news turning into bad news, when will this magical logic ever be broken? --- Nobody panics when the dollar depreciates by 90%, but they get scared and jump at the rate hike expectations—it's a bit absurd. --- The old script of traditional finance really needs to change; on-chain is the new story. --- Misaligned expectations are opportunities; those who jump into low gas fee segments now will laugh last. --- Good economy = rate hikes = cutting leeks; this logic has confused many people. --- The key is, who will repay the wealth stolen by inflation? Asset allocation needs to wake up. --- Wall Street being scared is actually a signal; interpret it yourself to understand what it means. --- GDP still can fall from 4.2%; it's just a market psychology game, and the crypto circle is actually more clear-headed. --- If you don't seize this window to deploy creative token projects, you'll just be waiting to be abandoned by the times.

The core data is that the US dollar has depreciated by 90%. Good data actually leads to expectations of interest rate hikes, which is indeed a deadlock. It's not surprising that on-chain funds are moving around.

The dollar devalued by 90%, this is truly incredible. No wonder everyone is rushing to the chain. The traditional financial logic should have been abandoned long ago. Good data actually makes people afraid of interest rate hikes? This train of thought is really confused. In a low gas fee environment, you can indeed find many things, but the risks are also real. Wall Street's script really needs to change, otherwise the only outlet will be in crypto.
