Crypto Chaos & U.S. Dollars: A Week to Watch or Wake Up?

Markets

It is, as the wise often observe, a week of muted rumblings and gentle sighs, a mere whisper in the tumultuous symphony of commerce, approaching the grand holiday season with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. The markets, like a patient old dog, seem content to lie nestled in quiet anticipation, with little happening that could shake their seasoned nerves.

This event, on the grand scale, is the Ethereum-decentralized-king standing atop the digital throne, watching as others debate whether to dethrone or crown him anew.

Meanwhile, the world outside the crypto realm spins on, as the United States prepares to release its third-quarter GDP figures and a second look at inflation figures that surely must have laughed at the first estimates. What profound truths these reports might unveil-who can say? Perhaps just that dollars are still worth what they were, or not.
