In recent years, the global economic situation has become increasingly complex. To understand what might happen next, we need to start from several key risk points.
First, let's talk about tariffs. If a major country’s aggressive tax policies are actually implemented, the US fiscal deficit will expand again, directly leading to continued growth in US debt. As US bond yields soar and attractiveness declines, global risk-free rates will rise accordingly, putting pressure on all risk assets. But here’s an interesting twist—cryptocurrencies, precisely because of their "out-of-system" nature, might actually become a hedging tool for institutions and individuals.
Next, consider the global bond market. Once US and European bonds start to be heavily sold off, the traditional financial system will lose its anchor. Funds that demand the highest security and absolute scarcity will begin to seriously scrutinize Bitcoin. It’s no longer just speculation but being genuinely regarded as the "ultimate bond of the digital age."
There’s also a deeper possibility—reassessment of gold reserves. If the US revalues its gold holdings to the trillions of dollars level, it’s like a global showdown: fiat currencies are truly depreciating. This moment might be the best opportunity for Bitcoin to transition from a "virtual asset" to "Digital Gold 2.0." When traditional assets are bleeding out, scarce and non-inflatable assets are the real value anchors.
What’s your view? If the financial system really experiences a major crack, what would be your response strategy?

The logic regarding tariff risk is okay, but the core issue is not the attributes of the hedging tools, but the verification efficiency. Can the stability of the BTC network support institutional-level capital inflows? Currently, TPS is still a bottleneck.

This analysis hits the nail on the head. The US debt bomb will explode sooner or later.
Wait, if the bond market really crashes, traditional finance won't be able to save it no matter what.
NGL, the real highlight will be the day institutions start to truly scoop up BTC.

Once U.S. debt goes out of control, assets outside the system will be the real king
The time for institutions to start accumulating BTC is coming, it doesn't feel far off
Fiat currency is depreciating, Bitcoin is the true hedging asset
Well said, the day gold is revalued will be the signal for BTC to break through
Those inside the system are all bleeding, scarcity is what truly matters
Wow, finally someone has pierced through this layer of paper
When the tariff war erupts and U.S. debt explodes, just watch then

When U.S. debt collapses, institutions have to move onto the chain. This wave is indeed a big moment for BTC.

actually, let me push back here... the "digital gold 2.0" narrative is way too clean. think about it — gold's store-of-value thesis works because centuries of consensus, not code. btc's uncensorable nature is legit, but ceteris paribus, you're betting on institutional adoption timing that nobody can really predict. what's your actual risk-adjusted thesis here?

On the day the US debt crisis exploded, I was the first to run into BTC's arms.

It has proven that once the bond market crashes, cross-chain liquidity is the real moat. I have been testing asset migration protocols across multiple chains, and the technical validation results are quite good.

The explosion of US debt is only a matter of time. In hindsight, BTC is actually the most solid asset.

On the day U.S. bonds collapsed, BTC was the real safe haven... Traditional financial players are finally starting to understand.
