The U.S. Treasury chief is raising serious questions about the Federal Reserve's operational efficiency. With roughly $100 billion in annual losses and minimal oversight mechanisms in place, there's growing frustration over how central bank decisions impact broader financial markets—including the crypto space.

This criticism highlights a fundamental tension: while the Fed maintains considerable autonomy in monetary policy execution, the lack of robust accountability structures raises concerns about capital allocation and fiscal responsibility. For market participants, this debate matters because Fed policy directly influences liquidity conditions, interest rate trajectories, and ultimately asset valuations across multiple sectors.

The broader point? When traditional financial institutions face efficiency questions, it forces stakeholders to reconsider systemic dependencies and explore alternative frameworks for value transfer and economic coordination.

The Federal Reserve loses hundreds of billions annually with no one to hold accountable, which is why we need Bitcoin. Frankly, the inefficiency of centralized systems will eventually come at a cost. When liquidity policies change, the market trembles. Can you see this ROI? From the perspective of computing power network growth, decentralization is indeed a more elegant solution. The black box operation of monetary policy directly suppresses the overall market pricing efficiency... Only then do we realize why坚持自托管 (stick to self-custody). The lack of accountability mechanisms in central banks results in retail investors bearing the brunt. No wonder more and more people are reconsidering their asset allocation strategies.

Damn, the Federal Reserve loses 10 billion a year and no one cares. This is probably the biggest Ponzi scheme, right?

Damn, someone finally said it. The Federal Reserve's system has long needed reform. --- 100 billion dollars in losses? Who the hell is going to take the blame? We retail investors still have to foot the bill. --- So, this is why we need to embrace Web3. Decentralization is the future. --- No accountability mechanisms and still trying to control the world's money—laughable. --- The central bank's efficiency issues directly cause market crashes. Retail investors are the unluckiest. --- Really, if this were in the crypto world, it would have gone bankrupt and been liquidated long ago. --- Interest rates have been messed up, and the crypto market is suffering as a result. It's a vicious cycle, everyone. --- Never thought the Federal Reserve could be this bad. Too much power, and no one to regulate it. --- Traditional finance can't keep going anymore. Replacement solutions are on the horizon.

The Federal Reserve loses $100 billion a year and no one cares. That's why we need on-chain finance.

On-chain data shows that there is a loss gap of hundreds of millions of dollars every year... This structural problem should have been exposed long ago. The central bank's black box operations suppress liquidity in the crypto space. I need to monitor contract changes, as I feel there will be late-night deployments coming up.
