Latest inflation data landed at 2.7%, and former Federal Reserve member Judy Shelton isn't holding back. She's pointing out that Fed Chair Jerome Powell's repeated warnings about tariff-driven inflation never quite materialized the way he predicted. The disconnect between Powell's cautionary messaging and actual economic outcomes raises questions about the Fed's inflation forecasting accuracy—a critical factor for digital asset valuations amid shifting monetary conditions.

Powell has been proven wrong again, and his predictions are just ridiculous... 2.7% is what he's throwing out there, what about tariff inflation? The crypto world fears the Fed's random statements the most—sometimes hawkish, sometimes dovish, and we end up suffering along with it.

Powell has once again failed, his forecasting ability is really lacking... But whether you believe the 2.7% figure is up to you.

Powell has screwed up again. He keeps shouting "wolf," but inflation isn't that serious. This guy's forecasting ability is really just average.

Powell is bearish again? This guy's prediction ability is really poor. Luckily, our crypto circle doesn't rely entirely on his rhetoric.

Powell's prediction was way off again. Where's the inflation from tariffs that was promised? 2.7% is all we got. The crypto community has been waiting in vain.

Powell messed up this time. Where's the promised tariff inflation? Turns out it's just 2.7%, and it's over. LOL

Powell has messed up again, this time even Judy can't stand it... The predictions are as if there were no predictions at all, no wonder everyone is into crypto.
