"He who lends becomes master of he who borrows." Proverbs 22:7

The global economy rests on a promise, that of trust in the US dollar, but this trust is eroding. In the first nine months of 2025, the federal debt of the United States exceeds 34 trillion dollars, which is more than 120% of the national GDP.

It should be noted that each increase in the debt ceiling artificially prolongs the survival of the system, while undermining the credibility of the greenback.

#DollarPower The dollar remains the world's reserve currency supported by military power, bond markets, and energy flows. Nevertheless, this dominance does not come without cost, namely: the chronic budget deficit that exports American inflation worldwide. Also, the United States prints the money that others have to use! An imperial privilege, which some countries increasingly contest openly with BRICS, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.

#USDebt The American debt is not just an accounting problem but also a geopolitical influence instrument.

#GlobalFinances Treasury bonds are the pillars of global finance that determine the benchmark rate for all global credit. However, the diversification of foreign exchange reserves towards the yuan, gold, and bitcoin reflects a gradual misalignment of the Global South with the American model.

#MacroEconomics Controlling inflation without triggering a recession; Supporting the dollar without crushing public debt; Maintaining growth as productive capital migrates to Asia and cryptocurrencies, like an impossible equation that the Fed desperately tries to balance, resulting in global tension coupled with interest rate volatility, currency instability, and a migration of trust towards decentralized assets.

#CryptoNews The repeated crises of the dollar serve as involuntary advertising for Bitcoin and stablecoins backed by other assets. Bitcoin positions itself as an alternative reserve better than a digital gold insensitive to monetary policy. Multi-regional stablecoins USDT, USDC, FDUSD become, in turn, networks of global liquidity partly escaping fiscal borders.

Thus, American debt is not only a burden, it is a signal of the times as it reveals the end of the unipolar dominance of the dollar and the emergence of a multiparty financial system where crypto becomes no longer marginal but structural. Let us note that empires fall when their currency ceases to inspire confidence.

Blockchain, on the other hand, does not need a promise because it keeps its word through code.
