Rising US national debt remains the biggest bull case for bitcoin, with Kalshi forecasting the debt to reach $48 trillion under Trump. x.com 

Gold and bitcoin should benefit from debasement as the US government, now the least credible it has ever been, faces higher borrowing costs that make its growing debt harder to finance, leading to money printing and more inflation. Bonds' risk-free status is eroding as the 10-year signals rising inflation and Fed hikes fail to slow a hot economy or fix an energy supply shock. x.com 

Bitcoin is likely to be hit hard in the scenario expected next year, with the dollar index now seemingly certain to reach 108-110. @AtlasShrug1 warns that a dollar index at those levels would make it tough for bitcoin and could bring a retest of the lows. x.com  x.com 

Bitcoin stands to benefit from a US fiscal trajectory that keeps moving one way regardless of who controls Washington. Per Kalshi, US national debt is forecast to reach $48 trillion under Trump, about $12 trillion of new debt in four years. That backdrop makes it hard not to be bullish on Bitcoin. x.com 

Washington's debt makes energy stocks, silver and Bitcoin worth owning as things it cannot print. Debt is $40.4 trillion after a $2.4 trillion annual increase; interest is $1.05 trillion. Energy firms keep paying dividends despite pension-fund selling. Silver requires patience; Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million. Oil stocks fall when oil crashes, silver can stagnate for a decade and Bitcoin can halve. A $10 million-$20 million Bitcoin price in 2046 is a working hypothesis, not a promise. … Show more

The US-Iran war, inflation fears and rising bond yields make Bitcoin's run to $100,000 much harder. A target that once seemed achievable now looks impossible in 2026. x.com  x.com 

Gold is set to take off as energy-driven stagflation traps the Fed and negative real rates favor it. Today's dovish hold was likely its last chance to hike: once the AI bubble bursts, the Fed loses that option, while current debt-to-GDP rules out Volcker-style hikes without fiscal insolvency. Per Macrotrends' chart, gold rose eightfold from its 1976 low to its 1980 high, equivalent to $32,000 gold over five years in today's terms. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Gold and bitcoin remain long-term buys, and a single shared chart is the key one for long-term buyers of both to focus on. x.com 

Gold, silver and bitcoin are in a cyclical downturn driven by a rallying dollar, even though the secular debasement trade remains on. The dollar index hit a 13-month high, tightening everything priced in dollars and unwinding crowded positions: gold is under $4,000, off about 25%, silver is down about 40% and bitcoin is below $60,000. Over decades fiat erodes, driven by fiscal dominance rather than the Fed's balance sheet, so size for the cycle and position for the secular trend. x.com  x.com  … Show more

Exiting Treasuries for gold and bitcoin is the trade of the decade, as the debasement-hedge story gets louder. China's Treasury holdings have declined steadily since 2021, and if that pace continues, the narrative is just getting started. x.com  x.com
