Recently, discussions about U.S. debt have heated up again. Some people have pointed out that U.S. debt has already soared to $38 trillion, which is indeed a staggering number. What’s even more interesting is that there’s a view suggesting that traditional currency may not remain mainstream in the future, and instead, energy could become the dominant medium—after all, energy is a tangible resource.

Bitcoin happens to be built on energy consumption, which makes it particularly intriguing within this framework. Once the debt issue erupts, market volatility is almost inevitable, and as an alternative asset, Bitcoin’s price will most likely experience wild swings. Right now, many are watching the Fed’s moves closely, since policy direction directly affects capital flows.

There’s also a bold prediction: within three years, artificial intelligence might cause an explosive surge in productivity, with the output of goods and services even outpacing inflation. If that really happens, deflation and zero interest rates could become possible, potentially easing the debt burden. It sounds a bit sci-fi, but technological progress really is changing the game.

Back to the crypto side, there are people continuously promoting the adoption of Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Although his enthusiasm for Bitcoin isn’t as high as it was in the early days, his stance remains clear—he’s not optimistic about fiat currencies that lack real backing, including the U.S. dollar. Politically, he once helped a certain candidate return to power, originally intending to control spending, but after taking office, that person didn’t put the brakes on spending, and their relationship fell apart.

Tying these views together, the core message is actually simple: the foundation of the traditional financial system is shaking, and energy plus technology are becoming the hard currency of the future. Will Bitcoin take off because of this? The market will provide the answer.
