After huddling in the shadows like bashful suitors for days, these cryptocurrencies-Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin-have decided to show their faces once more, perhaps in search of applause or simply to amuse themselves. The latest US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), that venerable oracle of numbers, has unveiled its Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December 2025 (a date no less enchanted), revealing a modest 0.3% rise last month-truly, a titillating bit of news for those who enjoy inflation as much as a cold shower. Additionally, the year-over-year index ascended to a respectable 2.7%, making it quite clear that prices are on the up-and energy, shelter, and food are all playing their parts like dedicated actors on this grand stage. Naturally, this modicum of inflation calms the fears of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes, encouraging investors to consider our beloved crypto as a rather strange, yet enticing, alternative to their piggy banks. 🐖💰
