When Silicon Thinks Faster Than Flesh

2140chronicles.com

They say the chips think faster now, a trillion choices in a breath, broadband wide as highways, while hands that built the world sit idle in the waiting room of obsolescence.

Who works when work is just a memory uploaded to machines that never sleep, never ask for raises, never dream?

They’ll give us income, universal, a basic promise, monthly bread, but whose hand controls the faucet? Whose finger on the valve decides if we eat or beg?

The government, they say, will tax the titans, route the river from their vaults into our cups. Trust us, they say. We’ll be fair, they say.

But I’ve seen power and power doesn’t share unless someone is watching, unless someone can say no.

So here’s the question that should keep us awake: Who decides the numbers? Who writes the code? Who checks the checkers?

We need our people at that table, not later, not when we’re already hungry, not when dependence has made us quiet, but now, while we still have leverage, while we can still demand to see the blueprints of our own tomorrow.

A citizen council, elected, accountable, with power to audit, to veto, to verify that justice isn’t just a promise whispered down from towers but a right we enforce ourselves.

The future is being written in boardrooms we can’t enter, in algorithms we can’t read.

and if we don’t demand a seat at that table now, we’ll inherit a world where someone else decides if we deserve to live.

Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates by 25 Basis Points, Ends Quantitative Tightening

The Federal Reserve cuts its benchmark interest rate by 0.25% today to 3.75%-4% The last time the Federal Reserve cut rates was in September 2025.

The cut in September was their first rate cut of the year, following a period of rate holds.  

In general, the Fed lowers borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, aiming to stimulate spending and investment. At the same time, some feel that a rate cut signals underlying economic weakness.

Yesterday, Bitcoin was trading at $116,000 yesterday but since slumped down to under $111,000 earlier today. Bitcoin’s price slightly jumped to the high $111,000s as the news came out. It is currently trading at $111,470.

Historically, bitcoin responds to monetary‑policy shifts. For example, after the Fed’s emergency cuts in March 2020, Bitcoin plunged nearly 39 % before rebounding strongly. 

More recently, when the Fed cut rates in September 2025, Bitcoin’s reaction was muted, suggesting markets may have priced in the move.

Federal Reserve to stop Quantitative Tightening 

Chair Powell also said that the central bank is approaching the end of its Quantitative Tightening (QT) program, a move that could provide a boost to risk assets, including bitcoin. The Fed said they will stop QT by December, according to reports. 

While Powell has previously flagged that the Fed is nearing this stage, uncertainty from the ongoing government shutdown complicated the outlook. With QT concluding, markets should respond positively.

Quantitative Tightening is the Federal Reserve’s tool for shrinking its balance sheet and reducing liquidity in financial markets. It operates in contrast to Quantitative Easing (QE), which expands the Fed’s balance sheet to stimulate economic activity. 

QT typically involves selling government bonds or allowing them to mature without reinvestment, actions that increase bond supply, push yields higher, and raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. 

Higher interest rates generally reduce spending and borrowing, helping control inflation and prevent the economy from overheating.

A related process, tapering, slows the pace of QE asset purchases but does not actively shrink the balance sheet. 

The Fed notably implemented QT in 2022, letting nearly $1 trillion in securities mature to curb inflation after prior QE programs had massively expanded the balance sheet. While effective at cooling inflation, QT carries risks, including market volatility and potential economic instability.

The end of QT halts the draining of liquidity from the market, which could free up capital to flow into risk-sensitive assets, like bitcoin and other crypto.
