π¨ HISTORIC MILESTONE: US NATIONAL DEBT SURPASSES $40 TRILLION!
Looking back at the US debt trajectory across presidential terms from Jimmy Carter to the present, one brutal truth emerges: Debt only increases. It never decreases!

β’ Jimmy Carter (1977β1981): $0.70T β $1.00T (+ $0.30T)
β’ Ronald Reagan (1981β1989): $1.00T β $2.86T (+ $1.86T)
β’ George H.W. Bush (1989β1993): $2.86T β $4.41T (+ $1.55T)
β’ Bill Clinton (1993β2001): $4.41T β $5.81T (+ $1.40T)
β’ George W. Bush (2001β2009): $5.81T β $11.91T (+ $6.10T) (Wars & financial crisis)

π‘ THE CASE FOR HARD ASSETS:
Regardless of which party holds office, the money-printing machine never stops. As fiat currency purchasing power degrades under relentless deficit spending, scarce assets like Gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stand out as the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement.
With debt hitting $40T, are you holding depreciating fiat or positioning into hard assets? π

@beallcrypto@coinbureau The strategy seems sound, but since it takes a decade to break even, there is no telling what might happen once the Democratic Party comes to power.
I expect Japan to raise interest rates by approximately 0.25 percentage points. Although a yield gap remains between the US and Japan, the market is pricing in a widening US deficit, raising the possibility that the Treasury might devalue the dollar.
So capital outflows could still occur.
@caseyjdonaldson In my view, if the Fed does not raise interest rates while the BOJ does, capital will flow out of the US and back to Japan.
Have you considered this?
@macropaperr I dont want this to happen. Raising interest rates would exacerbate the U.S. budget deficit.
The Treasury would have to sell more T-bills to cover the shortfall.
It is a dangerous spiral.
π₯ US30Y Yields Surge: Markets "Challenge" the Treasury and the Fed!
The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond (US30Y) has continued to surge, reaching 5.271% (+0.46%) and approaching the previous peak near 5.35%.
While the US Treasury can intervene in short-term liquidity, it cannot alter the market's equilibrium price as long as inflation and the budget deficit remain unresolved issues.
Do you think the US30Y yield will conquer the 5.5% mark or undergo a correction from here?
