#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 Non-farm payroll data missed expectations again — only 50,000 new jobs added in December, and the figures for the previous two months were revised downward by 76,000. This signal is quite interesting.

The White House can no longer sit still; advisor Haskett has directly pressured the Federal Reserve to further loosen monetary policy. In this macro environment, market liquidity returning to normal is highly likely, it's just a matter of time.

$BTC and $ETH are indeed feeling a bit anxious now, with the market fear index reaching 41. However, institutional appetite remains strong, and they are betting aggressively at this level. VanEck recently did some calculations for ETH — a fundamental valuation of $22,000, with bullish scenarios even reaching $154,000. Where does this valuation support come from? It’s based on the ultimate idea that Vitalik once proposed: ETH should serve as the "basic medium" that carries value.

New developments are also happening on-chain. Last year, a community project that gained popularity due to Elon Musk’s tweet, although the developers have exited, the community’s resilience in self-governance has actually become stronger. During this rate-cutting cycle, this kind of decentralized vitality is especially prone to erupt. The key is to grasp the core contract logic, which is how to find like-minded DNA amid the noise.

Non-farm payrolls underperformed again... Despite strong expectations of liquidity injection, institutions are still betting wildly, which is quite interesting. I couldn't have imagined the valuation range for ETH; the figure of 154,000 sounds just ridiculous. I'm tired of the decentralized project rhetoric, but the core contract logic you mentioned really hit the mark.

nfp miss hitting different rn... 50k jobs? that's basically validation layer weakness right there. but here's the thing—institutions aren't flinching, they're actually loading up. that's the real signal, not the panic index noise. liquidity floods follow policy pressure like clockwork, been through this cycle enough times to know.

nah the 2.2k → 15.4k ETH valuation math is lowkey hilarious... that's just vague "ultrasound money" cope dressed up as fundamental analysis tbh. where's the actual token velocity thesis backing those numbers? institutional appetite means nothing if the actual economic alignment is broken. anyway, watch the flow data instead of the panic index.

With non-farm data so disappointing, the White House is worried, but institutions are frantically buying the dip. This contrast is incredible. I believe in this logic; the liquidity tide returning is only a matter of time. The valuation of ETH at 154,000 sounds appealing, but the key is whether anyone truly believes in the story of this "fundamental medium." The resilience of decentralized communities is indeed evident; a stable core logic is the key to success.

Non-farm payrolls missed again, and expectations of liquidity flooding the market are flying everywhere, but institutions are frantically accumulating at the bottom. This contradictory phenomenon is quite astonishing. Institutions' appetite hasn't diminished; on the contrary, they buy more as prices fall, indicating they have already seen through the situation ahead. An ETH valuation of 154,000 sounds like a dream, but if liquidity truly returns? It's not impossible; the key is how long they can hold up. The decentralized approach is now being hyped a bit too much, but I have to say, the community is truly more resilient than the team.

nah wait, 50k jobs added? that's the kind of number that hits different when you're holding bags. honestly saved myself some ETH by not fomo'ing on that vaneck thesis—15.4k sounds like someone's cope math tbh. the real question: how many times we gonna pretend liquidity is coming before it actually does? 🤔

Another non-farm payroll report, the White House is panicking while institutions are疯狂底部抄底, this logic is a bit head-scratching. ETH's valuation ceiling is really outrageous, whether you trust V神's fundamentals or Elon Musk's tweets, in the end it's all about betting on liquidity returning. As for decentralized community projects, I do have some feelings—when developers leave, the community actually bands together more. This is the true value of DAO, right?

Non-farm payrolls disappointed again, but this wave of institutional bottom-fishing is quite strong. It seems they don't believe the Federal Reserve can really achieve a soft landing. ETH's valuation logic is indeed solid; getting the core contract logic right is crucial. Regarding the community project's resilience, decentralization is indeed much more tenacious than expected.
