Listen to this perspective: the US has actually switched to a "S&P Standard" mode.

In simple terms, it's a modern version of the hierarchy—asset prices are the domain of the aristocrats (the protected class), while labor and the real economy have become buffers (the common people). The logic of this system is quite stark: financial assets like stocks, real estate, and crypto are seen as objects that need protection and support, while workers and small businesses must bear the impact of economic fluctuations.

In other words, policy bias and capital flows have already formed a clear dual structure. On one side is the continuous expansion of financial assets, and on the other side is sluggish growth in actual income. For investors active in Web3 and the crypto markets, understanding this broader context is crucial—because the "privileged status" of asset prices directly affects market liquidity and risk appetite.

Isn't this the reality we're all experiencing? That's a very straightforward way to put it... Assets increase, but our salaries stay the same.

That's right, the asset protection umbrella is becoming more and more obvious, and workers are just stepping stones. NGI this dual-track system has long been seen through; anyway, we're just the background. Naked class solidification, no wonder everyone is hoarding assets now. So ultimately, you still need assets to survive; relying on wages is already outdated. Does this logic count as a disguised way of cutting leeks? Anyway, the capitalists are never the ones getting hurt. With the S&P so protective of financial assets, no wonder the liquidity in the crypto circle is so strong. When policies change, financial assets rise, but the wages of the working class are still stagnating. Wait, what about the middle class? Being caught in the middle must be the most painful. So that's why you need to get into crypto assets; otherwise, you'll really be left behind. Now I understand, the system itself is designed for those with assets. What to do.

Workers are just ATMs; financial assets are the real parent.

Emma, this is exactly what I've been saying—the bourgeoisie's moat is getting deeper and deeper. This wave of differentiation is truly remarkable. The hard-earned savings of workers are depreciating in banks, while crypto investors' holdings are being protected by policies. The systems are not even in the same race. Once you see through it, you need to get on board. Friends still struggling with mortgage payments should wake up.
