On the 25th anniversary of the (North-South Joint Declaration), Lee Jae-myung reiterated the restoration of dialogue and cooperation with North Korea. This statement is not only a continuation of the progressive government's policy towards North Korea but also a strategic adjustment based on realistic dilemmas. Its substantive impact and potential benefits can be analyzed from multiple dimensions, but a comprehensive assessment needs to consider North Korea's possible reactions and the complexity of geopolitical factors.

⚔ 1. Military security: Reducing conflict risks, rebuilding crisis management
1. Stop hostile actions
Lee Jae-myung has ordered the cessation of loudspeaker broadcasts towards North Korea (previously used for political propaganda or noise interference), and North Korea subsequently suspended its anti-South Korea noise broadcasts. Although these symbolic measures are small, they directly alleviate tensions at the border, reduce the risk of accidental clashes, and create foundational conditions for subsequent dialogue.

Middle East geopolitics, war trends, global finance, and Bitcoin market responses:

1. Overview of Iran's military strength (2024-2025)
1. Core power composition:
Powerful missile forces: Iran possesses the largest ballistic missile arsenal in the Middle East, including medium and long-range missiles such as 'Meteor-3', 'Khoramshahr', and 'Tehran', with a range of up to 2000 kilometers, capable of covering Israel, Saudi Arabia, and US bases in the Middle East.

Drone forces lead in the Middle East: Iranian drones (such as Shahed-136) have been validated in multiple combat scenarios in the Red Sea, Ukraine, and Syria.

Analysis integration regarding Iranian military strength, duration of war with Israel, outcome predictions, and impact on Bitcoin, combined with the latest combat situation and multiple assessments:
⚔ 1. Assessment of Iranian military strength
1. Scale advantage
Troop size: Active regular army 587,000 (including 125,000 Revolutionary Guards), plus 450,000 militia 'Basij', can mobilize up to 1 million in wartime, global military strength ranking about 15th.
Missiles and drones: Possesses the largest missile arsenal in the Middle East (over 3,000), including 'Khoramshahr 4' hypersonic missiles (range 2,000 kilometers) and 12 Mach-speed missiles, capable of overcoming Israeli missile defense systems; drone technology (e.g., 'Shahed 136') validated in the Russia-Ukraine battlefield, has saturation strike capability.

The question involves multiple topics such as Musk, Trump, American politics, and the differences between the Chinese and American systems. We can analyze it from three aspects: political system, freedom of speech, and the relationship between capital and power:

1. What if in China?
This statement is not groundless. It reflects the essential differences between China and the United States in terms of political and business relations and public opinion boundaries.
In China:

Entrepreneurs rarely openly challenge the country's leadership.


Even highly exposed capital figures have a sense of boundaries when it comes to politically sensitive expressions or the boundaries of power.


This is because China's political system emphasizes that the leadership of the Party is above all else, capital is not allowed to challenge authority, and the political red lines are very clear.

The information you mentioned combines several recent market hotspots and the long-standing topic of 'USDT risk'. As a financial expert, I will analyze from four levels: macro, regulation, market behavior, and hedging strategies. Let's see if this 'legislative rumor' and USDT really could 'collapse', and how to respond rationally.

⸻

I. What role does USDT (Tether) play?

USDT (Tether) is currently the most important stablecoin in the crypto market, with a market capitalization exceeding $150 billion (accounting for over 66% of the total stablecoin market cap). It is the core liquidity tool for capital circulation, hedging, deposits, trading, leverage, etc. Although it is nominally pegged to the US dollar, it is not registered in the US and is considered an 'offshore stablecoin'.

Alright, let's continue to delve deeper. Now let's focus on two aspects:
1. Under the US 'monetization' path, historical experiences and the performance logic of Bitcoin/Gold
2. When the critical point of 'debt bubble bursting' arrives, how will market funds migrate? (Possible strategic role of Bitcoin)

⸻

🧾 1. Historical experiences of debt monetization + Current reflections

✅ Concept Review: What is 'Monetization of Fiscal Deficit'?

In simple terms, the government spends money, incurs fiscal deficits, and the central bank prints money to pay the bill:

• Government issues bonds → Market cannot absorb → Federal Reserve buys → Inject new money into the banking system → Government continues to spend.

This is a very profound issue. The total amount of US debt has exceeded $34 trillion, and under the current trend, it is difficult to 'pay off'. The key question is not 'can it be paid back', but:

Whether the US can maintain its 'refinancing ability' and 'market confidence' for government bonds — once these two break, it marks the end of the debt bubble.

Let's delve into the possible endings of the US debt 'default', and their potential impact on the global and Bitcoin markets.

⸻

🔚 1. The 'final outcome' of US debt may be one of the following four:

The following is a systematic analysis of the history of the U.S. debt crisis, the interaction mechanism between the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and government bonds, and the performance of non-sovereign assets such as gold and Bitcoin during the collapse of the debt bubble:

📘 Module One: The History of the U.S. Debt Crisis and the Evolution of Government Credit

1. The 'Nixon Shock' of 1971

In 1971, U.S. President Nixon announced the termination of the direct convertibility of the dollar to gold, marking the end of the Bretton Woods system. This move made the dollar a fully fiat currency, allowing the government to issue currency without limits, leading to increased inflation and fiscal deficits.

Your question is very critical, hitting the core of modern monetary finance: 'The U.S. government owes its own people debt, what pressure is there? At critical moments, repayment is ultimately at their own discretion?'

Let's analyze layer by layer:

⸻

1. Who actually holds U.S. government bonds?

As of the end of 2024, the total U.S. national debt has exceeded $34 trillion, with the main holders as follows:

Category Holding Ratio Description
🇺🇸 Domestic institutions in the U.S. (about 70%) include the Federal Reserve, pension funds, insurance companies, commercial banks, etc. → left hand owes right hand.
🌐 Foreign investors (about 30%) mainly include Japan, China, the UK, Belgium, oil-producing countries, etc. → true external creditors.

This issue is very important and often misunderstood. Let's analyze it systematically and professionally:

⸻

1. The Federal Reserve's Position: Independent from the Government, yet Deeply Embedded in the Government System

1.1 The Federal Reserve is an "independent federal agency"

Official Full Name: Federal Reserve System, established in 1913 (Federal Reserve Act).

It is neither a completely private enterprise nor a completely government department, but a **"government-authorized, independently operating" hybrid system**, with the following characteristics:

Attributes Description
Goals set by Congress To "maximize employment, ensure price stability, and moderate long-term interest rates" (dual mandate)

Recently, Ukraine has conducted intensive drone strikes against Russian strategic targets, including the destruction of dozens of strategic aircraft and attacks on the Crimean Bridge, which have indeed caused a certain impact on the battlefield. The following is an analysis of the impact of these strikes and their potential implications for future battlefield dynamics:
🔥 1. Military impact on Russia
✅ Strategic air force severely impacted
Ukrainian drones attacked Russian air bases within its territory, such as the Engels Air Base, Shoykovka, and Olkhovka, destroying or severely damaging strategic bombers like the Tu-95 and Tu-22M3.

Lang Xianping: Why Is It Difficult for Enterprises in the Pearl River Delta to Grow?      Why is it difficult for enterprises in the Pearl River Delta to grow? Why is there a shortage of migrant workers? Why do many private enterprises in mainland China, including Skyworth, frequently face doubts and even lawsuits in the Hong Kong stock market?           Professor Lang Xianping from Chinese University of Hong Kong, known for 'Lang's Oversight', believes there are many reasons, but the most critical one is that Chinese enterprises lack the tradition of fiduciary responsibility, and at the same time, there is a lack of strict laws to punish those who breach trust. As a result, in the existing corporate culture in China, it is quite common for entrepreneurs to lack fiduciary responsibility towards the state, shareholders, and laborers. The path to rectification must first rely on the government to promote the rule of law, and secondly, enterprises need to gradually cultivate a corporate culture centered on fiduciary responsibility. Lang Xianping made these remarks yesterday at the International Forum on Chinese Corporate Culture held in Guangzhou.                     Lack of Strict Regulatory Measures in the Stock Market           Lang Xianping pointed out that when ownership and management rights are separated, the issue of fiduciary responsibility arises. Operators should consciously respect and protect the interests of property owners during their management process, which constitutes a form of fiduciary responsibility. Subsequently, fiduciary responsibility evolves from being solely accountable to shareholders to being accountable to the state and employees.           Lang Xianping noted that the Chinese securities market lacks strict regulatory measures like those in the United States, which significantly diminishes the effectiveness of merely learning from the operational measures of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For instance, due to stringent regulations in the U.S. stock market, its operation is relatively healthy, leading to higher and stable returns for U.S. social security funds entering the market, making it an excellent place for value appreciation. However, in China, the risks for social security funds entering the market are much greater. Furthermore, while the U.S. stock market is indeed dominated by institutional investors, its Securities and Exchange Commission has very strict and effective oversight on insider trading, making it difficult for institutional investors to manipulate stock prices. In contrast, without similarly strict oversight, introducing these institutional investors into the Chinese stock market may equate to bringing in larger speculators, which offers limited assistance in cultivating an investment-oriented mindset in the Chinese stock market. A notable example is that the stock prices of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom in the current Hong Kong stock market are to some extent already manipulated by American institutional investors.           Lack of Fiduciary Responsibility Distresses Pearl River Delta Enterprises           Lang Xianping pointed out that the negative effects of the lack of fiduciary responsibility are all-encompassing. For instance, this year's shortage of migrant workers is related to the lack of fiduciary responsibility of enterprise owners towards laborers; many private enterprises in the Pearl River Delta fail to grow due to the lack of fiduciary responsibility among professional managers; and the lack of fiduciary responsibility among professional managers may infringe upon the private property rights of private enterprises, causing private enterprise owners to hesitate to entrust their businesses to professional managers. However, in the face of fierce international competition, most first-generation entrepreneurs of private enterprises can no longer cope, placing them in a dilemma.           When asked about his views on the recent lawsuits against several senior executives of Skyworth by the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lang Xianping was reluctant to comment extensively, merely stating: “This indicates that they have not fulfilled their fiduciary responsibilities towards shareholders and employees well.” He further pointed out: It is natural for entrepreneurs to manage their enterprises well, but this is not enough; they must also reflect: as an entrepreneur, aside from making money for the enterprise, have they fulfilled their fiduciary responsibility towards society, shareholders, and employees?           Delong Lost Due to Corporate Culture Violating Economic Principles           Lang Xianping also shared his views on how Chinese private enterprises can cultivate a healthy corporate culture. He pointed out that corporate culture is not something created deliberately; the soul of corporate culture should be the courage to take on fiduciary responsibilities towards society, shareholders, and employees, and its foundation must comply with economic laws. Corporate cultures that do not conform to economic laws will eventually lead to significant failures for enterprises.           Lang Xianping believes Delong is a good example. Delong's corporate culture is “proactive, seizing opportunities, and building the largest private enterprise in China through industrial integration.” Its corporate culture violates the basic principles of diversified operations. The most important principle and purpose of diversified operations is to hedge risks through industrial complementarity, enabling the enterprise to obtain a stable cash flow and ensure sustainable operations. However, Delong's diversification lacks complementarity; its integrated industries such as motorcycles, cement, heavy trucks, and finance do not have complementary relationships. When faced with major turning points like macro-control, multiple industries decline simultaneously, cash flow issues arise, and a break in the capital chain becomes inevitable.           Background: The Formation Path of Fiduciary Responsibility           Fiduciary responsibility can be formed in two ways: one represented by the UK, which has gradually formed over hundreds of years of corporate operation history, with a deep historical and cultural accumulation, where fulfilling fiduciary responsibility has become the consensus and behavioral guideline of most corporate operators. Therefore, in the UK, there is no need for strict regulation, allowing the entire property market, represented by the securities market, to operate healthily at a low cost. The other is represented by the U.S. The U.S. does not have a tradition of fulfilling fiduciary responsibility. Before 1929, behaviors such as stock price manipulation and insider trading, which reflect a lack of fiduciary responsibility, were also prevalent. However, Roosevelt's New Deal vigorously promoted a series of stringent laws to strengthen capital market regulation, severely striking at family and large speculator manipulation of the securities market, and maximizing the protection of small shareholders' interests, thereby paving the way for establishing a tradition of fiduciary responsibility through strict laws.           The establishment of fiduciary responsibility has created a century of prosperity in the U.S., with a particularly convincing example being that the U.S. stock market has become the best place for American citizens to accumulate wealth. According to statistics, from 1940 to 1991, the average annual return of the U.S. stock market reached a very high level, essentially adding 7.6 percentage points on top of the annual bank interest rate. With such a stable high return rate, social security funds entering the market can maintain high returns over the long term, allowing the American social security system to operate smoothly and efficiently.

[Love] Examining romantic relationships from the perspective of social exchange theory, we find that partner selection is essentially a resource matching process. The exchange theory proposed by sociologist Homans reveals that stable intimate relationships are built on the dynamic balance of resource supply and demand from both parties. Just as in business partnerships, partners of equal standing can form a collaborative system, significantly enhancing relationship stability compared to mismatched resource combinations (Blau, 1964).

Short-term forecast (tomorrow and the next week): As of May 19, 2025, the price of Bitcoin has surpassed $107,000, only needing a 2.42% increase to reach the historical high of $109,800. Analysts generally believe that if this resistance level is broken, Bitcoin may accelerate its rise to $116,000 or even higher targets. For example, 21Shares notes that Bitcoin is on the verge of a breakout, with institutional capital inflow, supply tightening, and macroeconomic improvement potentially driving it up to $138,500.

Technical analysis indicates that Bitcoin's daily chart has formed a 'round bottom' pattern; if it breaks the neckline at $106,600, the target price could point to $140,000. Short-term volatility and consolidation risks: Despite the market sentiment leaning towards optimism, caution is required regarding short-term pullback risks: some analysts believe that the recent surge in ETF capital inflow (a net inflow of $2.9 billion over two weeks) may trigger profit-taking, leading to a slight price adjustment to the $104,000 to $105,000 range.

Current Bitcoin trend and future predictions (as of May 17, 2025)

Current technical outlook and market sentiment
1. Price dynamics
Bitcoin has shown a 'surge-high-retrace-consolidation' pattern since May 10, currently reported at $103,893 on May 16, with short, medium, and long-term moving averages (MA5/20/50/200) in a bullish arrangement, but MACD shows a high-position death cross and RSI has fallen to 56.0, indicating weakened short-term momentum. Attention should be paid to the breakthrough of key support levels at $101,000-$101,600 and resistance levels at $104,000-$105,000.
On-chain data: Whale addresses took profits near $105,000, net inflow to exchanges rebounded to an average of over 2,000 BTC per day, retail activity is declining, and the market is entering a structural adjustment period.

Look for potential projects in cryptocurrency and virtual currency (especially in high-risk areas like 'shitcoins' and Meme coins) and try to minimize losses. This requires combining market understanding, technical analysis, risk control, and psychological qualities. The following are systematic suggestions:
I. Basic preparation: understand the essence of the market
Recognize high-risk attributes
'Shitcoins' (referring to low market cap tokens with no substantial projects) are mostly driven by speculation; their volatility is the norm, and over 90% will go to zero.
The market is greatly influenced by emotions, celebrity effects (e.g., Elon Musk's calls), and fund manipulation, so stay alert at all times.
