#数字资产动态追踪 In 2026, the US national debt has already hit a record high. Growth rate? The most aggressive wave since World War II.
The path ahead for the United States essentially boils down to two options:
The first is a hard default. Simply default on the debt, which sounds satisfying, but the consequences would be an instant collapse of the country's credit and a global financial market earthquake. No one dares to take this route.
The second is playing word games. Continue printing money, ramp up efforts, and use devalued dollars to pay off old debts—this is essentially a disguised default, just not so obvious. On the surface, debt pressure is eased, but the dollar becomes increasingly worthless. The dollars in your hand buy less and less each year.
Interestingly, the US is now betting all its chips on artificial intelligence. The gamble is that AI can boost economic growth, allowing GDP growth to far outpace debt interest payments. If they win this game, the US can turn things around; if they lose? There's really no other option. This has become a game that must be won. No wonder assets like $BTC are being increasingly eyed in this environment.

The printing press is running rapidly, the US dollar is depreciating, and the money in our hands is shrinking. I've seen through it long ago, so I hold a significant amount of BTC.

Once the printing press starts, it can't be stopped. Everyone can see the dollar devaluation, and it was high time to get on board with BTC.

The devaluation of the US dollar has long been understood. Those who go all-in on BTC here are smart people; anyway, the dollar will eventually be worthless. It's better to quietly make a fortune.

nah technically speaking, the whole "ai will save us" narrative requires insufficient validation. sounds like a zero-day waiting to happen if you ask me... trust but verify, right? this debt spiral's got more attack vectors than i can count tbh

No, the devaluation of the dollar has been obvious for a long time. People still holding dollars are really brave.

The printing press has already turned red hot; the devaluation of the dollar is inevitable. Now, it depends on whether AI can save the situation.

When the printing press starts running, the dollar depreciates. That's a very straightforward way to put it. There's really no way out of this situation.
