🇺🇸📉 U.S. National Debt: Why Crypto Investors Should Care
The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34 trillion, raising concerns across financial markets — including crypto.
⸻
💰 What Is the National Debt?
It’s the total amount the U.S. government owes:
• Public Debt: Owed to investors, institutions, and foreign nations
• Intragovernmental Debt: Borrowed from U.S. agencies (like Social Security)
⸻
⚠️ Why It Matters:
• Inflation Risk: More borrowing weakens the dollar and raises prices
• Interest Burden: Over $1 trillion/year just to pay interest
• Global Trust: Massive debt can hurt faith in the U.S. dollar
⸻
🪙 Crypto Market Impact:
• Bitcoin as a Hedge: BTC seen as a store of value against fiat decline
• Rise of DeFi & Stablecoins: Distrust in centralized finance fuels crypto growth
⸻
📌 Conclusion:
Rising U.S. debt pressures traditional systems — and boosts demand for decentralized, inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin.
