Fernando Nikolic: Fed began announcing rate decisions in 1994, added live press conferences in 2011
Fed rate announcements began in 1994

U.S. Federal Reserve rate decisions were not announced until 1994, after which market participants had to infer changes from market actions.

Fernando Nikolic pointed out that live-streamed press conferences began in 2011. He also noted that Bitcoin was two years old at that time and commented on how the Fed's communications are now rapidly shared and debated online.

Fernando Nikolic has previously argued that Bitcoin adoption faces obstacles due to regulations aimed at a small group, rather than pricing or usability issues, as detailed in one of his earlier articles. He has also contrasted traditional financial enforcement with crypto regulations, referencing American Express's $350 million fine for unreported transactions. Nikolic’s commentary often focuses on the interface between regulatory frameworks and emerging financial technologies.
