 Yep.  Fed has 1 real root product, the dollar.  Their product was the apex predator and never had to watch its back.  Then Bitcoin shows up, and even though bitcoin is still a pup, the Fed recognizes that full grown Bitcoin could be bigger than the dollar.  So the Fed now behaves completely differently.  I would not be surprised if the Fed's coming behavior exceeds all records of hawkishness.
