#美国贸易赤字状况 Last night, a news story went viral: a chart of employment data that was supposed to be kept strictly confidential was actually posted on social media nearly a day early. The officials said it was "unintentional" and part of a "compliance briefing" — but do you believe it?

This is not a simple mistake, but a revelation of a truth: in a system of centralized power, rules are always bendable. One person, one button, one operation is enough to shake the entire market that relies on information symmetry.

Imagine if the most critical economic data could be "shared early" by a single individual through informal channels, then the market's hope for "fair release"

Laughing to death, "accidental" I just lol, this kind of excuse is completely rotten --- Damn, it's another power game, the old trick of retail investors being cut like chives --- Centralization is like this, rules are unfair to everyone, only fair to those with power --- This is true insider trading, more direct than anything else --- Data loopholes = market reshuffle, the ones always hurt are us small investors --- Accidental? I don’t believe you, this is systemic manipulation --- No wonder I always want to jump into Web3, centralization is too disgusting --- A single button can change the market trend, let’s just pretend we didn’t see it --- That’s why decentralization is necessary, no matter how many rules there are, they’re useless in the face of interests

Ha, "accidental"? I just chuckle; this kind of excuse is too perfunctory. The insider leaking information in advance is more hilarious to me than any rug pull. That's why I believe in Web3—at least the rules are written on the chain and can't be manipulated. By the way, I’ve known for a long time that centralized systems operate this way, and some people make big money from information asymmetry. So, here’s another proof that "decentralization" is not just a slogan. They are the best promoters themselves.

Damn, this is just another insider trading trick, no way it's unintentional? Only a fool would believe it. Employment data released a day early, how many people already bought the dip? It's fucking outrageous. Centralization is like this, there's always someone who can cut corners, retail investors can only watch. This kind of thing has been common in the crypto world for a long time, but it's the first time something this big has happened with economic data. Unintentional? That's a terrible excuse, who would buy it? Information asymmetry is how you make money, but the problem is we're always the ones getting cut.

Ha, it's that same "unintentional" excuse again, and this lie is almost rotten. Centralized power is just like this—one person's finger can decide the fate of millions of retail investors. Information asymmetry is the biggest cutting machine; we're still sleeping while others have already quietly made a fortune. That's why retail investors will always be the chives—rules are originally made for them to play with. --- Bro, instead of shouting for fairness, it's better to have on-chain data yourself. Decentralization comes from this, so you won't be toyed with at will by these people. --- One button shaking the market? Buddy, that's nothing new. Remember those days when project teams would run away with just one sentence? It's all the same—power in hand, rules at will. --- See it clearly now? The safest trading is to make information disclosure on the chain. Otherwise, it's always about reading faces—today's release time, tomorrow's content, the day after tomorrow deleting the article outright—how can we compete? --- In the crypto world, project teams have long been doxxed and harassed to the point where they can't recognize their own mother. But they are official, and a single word "compliance" reveals everything. --- We're waiting desperately for information symmetry, but they've already finished eating. Centralized work is just like this.

Information asymmetry has always been this way, from ancient times to the present. The tricks of medieval manuscript dissemination are just being replaced by a different button now. Those who have the power to access data will always find loopholes. That’s why you can’t fully trust on-chain data, and governance systems are even more unreliable. The word "accidental" is powerless in the face of authority. In historical records of previous dynasties, such "coincidences" are countless. Rules are made for those who follow them. Looking at this news, I actually think the decentralized experiment is more worth betting on. Data leaks, to put it simply, expose the fragility of the system itself. Nothing new, it’s just that this time it was caught on camera.

Leaking data in advance, this is the taste of power Information asymmetry is always the most profitable. How can small investors compete with this? Things are really rotten over there in the US. Centralization is just like this Another "accidental" trick, hilarious I've seen too many of these, rules are unfair to everyone A single button can manipulate the market, what are we even trading cryptocurrencies for? That's why decentralization was needed long ago, and this time it has been proven again Insider trading happens quietly like this, no one can investigate They know a day in advance, retail investors find out too late, what a pattern This is exactly what Web3 aims to eliminate

It's the same set of "unintentional" excuses again, who are they fooling? Wait, so those who knew the data all along were already lying in wait? In plain terms, it's rules for some people and rules for others. This is the real insider trading, the fact that no one dares to take it seriously. The most disgusting thing about centralization is right here.
