💥The drama of US Treasuries can't go on much longer: $34 trillion of "hot potatoes".
🔥Recently chatted with a few overseas investors, and their expressions were quite interesting—not panic, but fatigue. It was like watching an endless soap opera.
The story is simple: the U.S. Treasury is spending money like water, and the debt has already exceeded $34 trillion. Does the Federal Reserve want to stop? The pressure from interest rates cannot be contained; as soon as they turn around, they start the printing press again, claiming "no massive monetary easing" while actually doing it covertly.
‼️Once in the Volcker era, tough measures were taken to control inflation. What about now? As soon as Powell hears the Treasury crying poor, he immediately hands out candy. The power to lower interest rates is in the hands of politics, and Trump is eager to find a successor with a clear goal—someone who can "handle the debt."
❗️Let's take a look at the diplomatic scene. Japan is aggressively buying US bonds, like paying a "protection fee"; on the other hand, a certain major country is continuously reducing its holdings, reaching a new low since the 2008 financial crisis. Why? It's clear when you calculate three accounts: inflation dilutes the value of cash, the political risk of frozen assets, combined with the opportunity cost that is present.
❗️The most heart-wrenching thing is that the global consensus on "risk-free assets" has completely fractured. An era of low growth paired with high volatility has arrived. The old wealth management logic? It might be time to retire it. No one can escape how this play will end. Have you thought it through?

34 trillion? This number sounds dizzying, it feels like the Fed is performing an infinite lifeline...

Eh, can the US debt trap last for three more years? Anyway, I'm betting on encryption to back it up.
Humans print money, so we hoard coins. This logic isn't flawed, right... The more the Treasury messes around, the more hope we have on our side.
Wait, is Japan still buying US debt? Could it be that they also see potential? No, it seems like they're forced to, haha.
The old logic is dead, and a new opportunity has arrived. Just afraid of reacting too slowly.
Forget it. Instead of getting tangled up in how the US debt will end, it's better to see where ETH is heading. That's the real deal.
To be honest, who still believes in risk-free assets? We're all just gamblers.
Historical cycles repeat; recession isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new layout.

34 trillion dollars, to put it bluntly, is just a game of hot potato, whoever catches the ball last is doomed.
Once the printing press starts, it can’t be stopped, and U.S. debt will eventually have someone footing the bill; we’ll see who runs fastest then.
Under political pressure, there’s really no such thing as "independence"; interest rates have long become a bargaining chip.
Everyone is reducing their holdings of U.S. debt; humanity's consensus is that the faster you run, the better, haha.
The concept of risk-free assets should have been thrown in the trash; those who still believe in it are likely out of their minds.
This wave of encryption is quite interesting; the more chaotic it gets, the more there needs to be some real decentralization to hold the line, otherwise it’s all just paper tigers.

34 trillion... This number sounds exhausting, more tiring than watching a soap opera.
The printing press starts up the moment it turns around, acting like nothing's wrong, hilarious.
Even risk-free assets have cracked, so what can we believe in? We can only believe in coins, it seems.
No one can escape this show, I'm already starting to panic.

It might be time to retire it. No one can escape how this play will end. Have you thought it through?
