🤔 FOMC Minutes: Most Officials See Longer Path Back to 2% Inflation, Further Tightening Possible if Needed

Most participants indicated that further policy tightening may be necessary if inflation remains persistently high. They also noted that rate cuts could be appropriate if inflation eases or if labor market conditions significantly weaken. #macro

🤔 CZ: I Still Don't See Anything That Can Replace Bitcoin Today
Binance founder CZ told the Crypto Banter podcast he still spends 80% to 90% of his time on blockchain. He believes Bitcoin maintains its dominance with no current replacements.
Addressing the lack of killer apps, CZ noted that 15 years of heavy government suppression killed many apps before they could grow. He predicts micro-payments for future AI agents will absolutely rely on blockchain, either via Bitcoin L2s or centralized enterprise chains.

📊 Peter Schiff Slams STRC as A Ponzi Scheme?
On May 13, 2026, Peter Schiff, Chief Economist at Euro Pacific Asset Management and a long-time Bitcoin critic, claimed in a Cointelegraph interview that Michael Saylor’s STRC operation resembles a Ponzi scheme. He emphasized that legitimate finance depends on earnings to repay debt, and if Saylor does not sell Bitcoin, he must seek new capital from investors to meet existing obligations.
Schiff noted that if Saylor were to sell Bitcoin to cover the 11.5% interest, it could crash the market. Conversely, if he is compelled to liquidate during a downturn to repay debt, it would lead to significant principal losses.
