Woken up by market alerts in the early morning, I thought the market had blown up again. But then I checked the news—Japan just announced a national debt of 29.6 trillion yen, hitting a new all-time high. What does this number mean in the global context? Japan’s national debt has already reached 260% of GDP, making it the world’s number one.



To put it simply: a family with an annual income of 1 million yuan, owing 2.6 million yuan in debt, still thinking about borrowing more to solve their problems. This logic doesn’t work for any economic entity, but it seems global central banks have collectively chosen to turn a blind eye.

I’ve been in this circle for eight years, witnessing wave after wave of easing cycles, and I’ve seen countless tricks of printing money to rescue the market. Honestly, this time Japan’s move isn’t a lifesaver but pouring fuel on the fire.

The core issue is: the underlying logic of the global economy over the past thirty years has completely failed. The path of "central banks printing money—debt-driven growth" has come to an end. When you rely on printing money to maintain surface-level economic data, the money printed has no real value backing it. The ultimate cost is always borne by ordinary people—continuous inflation erodes purchasing power, savings depreciate, and wealth shrinks.

That’s why more and more people are turning their attention to crypto assets. Not because we believe a certain coin will skyrocket, but because we’ve seen a clear reality: true wealth in the future won’t come from central banks’ printing presses out of thin air, but from genuine consensus, ecosystem development, and value creation. Networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum derive their value from community consensus and network effects, which no central bank policy can change.

Central banks in Japan, the US, and Europe are still playing that old game, but the rules of the game have long changed.

260%? Man, these numbers are so outrageous I don't even have the energy to complain. Anyway, print more money, keep inflation going, but we still focus on on-chain data. Enough already. Japan's old and tired bailout script is the same stupid story every time. Eight years of veteran investors say each cycle repeats itself, and the central banks just can't fix this problem. Printing money is really just a bloodsucking pump; in the end, it's us ordinary people who get hurt. That's why I choose Bitcoin. Wake up, the game has already changed; they're still using the old scripts from the last century. 260% government bonds? That's not economic policy, that's gambling. Humans just can't learn. They have to fall into the same pit over and over before they stop. Central banks, you've played this game enough. It's time for true consensus to take over.

260%?I think this number is not a joke, the Bank of Japan is really at its wit's end. Printing money to the limit and still wanting to continue, I really can't understand this logic. Seeing through this trick is the true awakening. Whether Bitcoin is worth it or not doesn't matter; what's important is that I don't want to be harvested again. After eight years, I still find on-chain assets more reliable; at least no one can print them excessively. Damn, my money has depreciated so much in the bank that it's casting a shadow. That's why I went all in on ecosystem development projects. The central bank can't come up with new tricks. Being scammed in the early morning, and it turned out to be the old routine of the central bank again, leaving me exhausted.

Japan's 260% debt ratio is truly astonishing. Let's see how inflation will deal with ordinary people. Central banks' money-printing tricks should have been phased out long ago, but they keep repeating them. Those who see through this have already moved into crypto—it's not about faith, but about survival. Mountains of government debt, and in the end, we are the ones paying the bill. It's hilarious. This logic doesn't work anywhere else in the world, yet central banks turn a blind eye—impressive. Future wealth will come from consensus, not from printing presses. Central banks are still sticking to the old ways, but people's eyes are now wide open. Debt-driven growth is already doomed. Japan has set an example; do other central banks still want to follow? Savings devaluation and wealth shrinkage—that's the real crisis.

260%? This logic is really outrageous, are the central banks all going crazy? Printing money to rescue the market has long been played out, ordinary people will still have to pay the price in the end. Cryptocurrency is the true value anchor, no need to look at the central banks' faces. Japan's recent moves are indeed suicidal market rescue, adding fuel to the fire without a doubt. Look clearly, future wealth will definitely be on the chain, consensus and ecology are the way to go. Wait a minute, if this continues, the crypto circle will usher in a burst period, right?

Haha, I was awakened at 3 a.m. and thought it was another exchange爆雷, but it was just printing money. Japan's 260% national debt ratio... Mom, that's even riskier than my wool-harvesting risk factor. Honestly, instead of waiting for the central bank to rescue the market, it's better to verify wallet addresses multiple times and honestly accumulate mainnet coins. This thing is much more reliable. Printing money to rescue the market, I've been tired of this routine for eight years. Are they still repeating it? Wake up, everyone, central bank daddy, the game has already changed. A debt ratio of 258%, why not just declare "We're bankrupt"? Just adding fuel to the fire here. But on the other hand, it's precisely because of this approach that we have a reason to live. Praise the network effects of Bitcoin and Ethereum, brother. Inflation is secretly eating away at your savings. Why not hop on quickly? It's a hundred times better than devaluing in banks. The central bank has overdone printing money, now it's the community consensus to save the world. I love this script.
