The Fed Chair "Hiring Dilemma": Trump is Looking for an Nonexistent "Perfect Candidate"
Trump is a bit frustrated now. He wants to find a new Fed Chair, demanding increasingly outrageous criteria — this person must be able to significantly cut interest rates to implement his economic plans, while simultaneously convincing Wall Street financial elites and grassroots MAGA supporters, and must pass smoothly through the Senate confirmation. In other words, he’s looking for a "political magician" who can single-handedly change the global capital flow.
But reality is reality. On the Justice Department side, Powell is still under investigation, some within the Republican Party oppose re-nominating him, and the Greenland incident has muddied the waters — there is simply no such thing as a "perfect candidate."
Four finalists each have unavoidable flaws: Hasset is accused of being too "globalized," not aligning with "America First"; Reed is welcomed by Wall Street but despised by the MAGA camp; Waller is too independent, feared to be hard to control; Waugh was once praised by Trump, but the Senate is hanging in the balance.
White House advisor Bessent is working behind the scenes, asking the key question: "Who can become the next Greenspan?" — someone who can control the printing press and be the spiritual leader of the markets.
This matter directly impacts the crypto market. Once the new chair takes office, decisions on rate cuts or hikes will instantly shake risk assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL. The market is now holding its breath, waiting for an answer — this Fed Chair showdown is destined to be the biggest variable in capital flows this year.

It's really outrageous. Is Trump trying to find someone who can perform magic? Who can handle both Wall Street and MAGA at the same time? This is completely impossible. If this keeps up, BTC will continue to fluctuate, and the fatigue from adding positions is overwhelming.

Trump is risking his life here, trying to find someone who can both print money and appease both sides, which simply doesn't exist. The crypto world now depends on this guy's decision—cutting interest rates, we soar; raising interest rates, we wait for death.

I completely agree. In the end, it all depends on how the coins move. The "perfect chairman" Trump wants doesn't exist at all; how can Wall Street and MAGA be satisfied at the same time? In the end, whoever comes to power will have to compromise. The key is whether BTC and ETH can reap benefits in this round of struggle. Although SOL has shown some signs of recovery recently, it still depends on the Federal Reserve's stance. Hold your breath and wait for the answer, but be prepared to cut losses during this period because the variables are indeed significant.

Honestly, Trump's recent selection really stirs things up. Nobody is satisfied, and everyone has issues... But on the other hand, this actually presents an opportunity for our crypto circle. The more chaotic, the better for trading, right? Haha

Haha, Trump, are you trying to summon an imaginary deity? Cutting interest rates and printing money to calm Wall Street—who can do that? Anyway, that's how BTC keeps rising.
