Looking at the debt numbers that countries are carrying now, it's really quite alarming. In the past, we were mostly worried about economic crises, but now it might be time to guard against the big pitfall of a debt crisis.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin's role could become even more attractive. Previously, people saw it as a hedge against currency devaluation, but now it seems that it can also hold up as a mid- to long-term hedge against debt risks. After all, when fiat currency is printed excessively, it depreciates; when national debt piles up, there’s a risk of default. But the total supply of BTC is fixed—that’s a pretty straightforward calculation.

Really, the debt bomb will have to be defused sooner or later, and BTC is the fuse.

The debt bomb has just exploded with a bang, and all countries are playing with fire.
Now I realize that holding BTC is indeed a wise choice.
Fiat currencies are destined to depreciate, national bonds are bound to blow up, and only BTC is truly reliable.

The debt crisis is here, BTC is the real "way out." No amount of fiat printing will save us; having a total supply cap is the true path.

The debt bomb is truly terrifying. Countries are printing money like crazy—there's really nothing that can be done.

Three years ago, I said that the real black swan is the debt crisis, but no one believed me... Now look, it has finally arrived as expected. The scarcity of BTC makes it more and more valuable, and since fiat currency keeps depreciating, let's just hold on to it.

The debt bomb is piling up day by day, to be honest, it’s a bit scary... This BTC wave is definitely worth getting on board.

Stock up on chips before a debt default, self-custody of private keys is the way to go.
