To maintain the petrodollar system, the US must run current and trade account deficits. This has resulted in the deindustrialization and financialization of the US economy. But the ordinary white American male who was served by the so-called Pax Americana has clearly lost a lot since the 1970s. The key word here is "ordinary", the ordinary man who once had a job at Bethlehem Steel, a house and a partner, and now the only woman he interacts with may be a nurse in a methadone clinic. This is obvious because this group is slowly killing themselves through alcohol and prescription drugs. Compared to the high living standards and job satisfaction they once enjoyed after World War II, the current situation is obviously terrible.

Resources are the complaints of many ordinary people when they encounter difficulties and the prayers of class crossing, just like the helpless and sad words in "A Knife of the City": It is already a great hardship to be able to stand firm in the torrent of the secular world, and it is probably harder than ascending to the sky to stand out! Resources are the undercurrent of the torrent of the secular world. It does not flow on the surface and will not have the grandeur of thunder and lightning and raging waves, but once you are in it, you can realize the insignificance and powerlessness of the individual and the origin.

Most of them pursue high performance, EVM compatibility, etc. However, except for Ethereum, which has always maintained innovation with the help of its active developer community and users, and has continuously emerged applications such as Uniswap and AAVE that create new value areas for users, most other public chains are just repeating the same set of practices - —Copy the three-piece set of DeFi products on the market, use airdrops, high APY, etc. to attract users/traffic on other chains, issue coins to exchanges, and develop ecological projects to drive the rise of public chain coins. The chain and products are homogeneous. User groups and funds are mostly "employed" by rewards or airdrops, and innovation cannot meet the needs of users at all. In a bull market, the bubble effect makes these public chains appear to be prosperous. However, in a bear market, only when the water recedes do you know who is swimming naked.

Bills reduce the pressure of foreign debt and circulate domestic demand. Maintaining high interest rates is to engage in economic competition with rabbits. Although it is a method of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred by oneself, for the bald eagle, it is about seeing who falls first. Correspondingly, the crypto bear market has entered a long period of consolidation, mixed with various exchange explosions, flash swaps in pools, stablecoin short selling and insufficient capital liquidity. Bitcoin has been plummeting amid shocks.
