THE US DEBT TIME BOMB IS ALREADY DETONATING
Forget inflation reports for a second. The real systemic risk is the speed at which the US government is financing itself.
They just issued a record $25.4 trillion in short-term T-Bills over the last year. Short-term debt now makes up nearly 70% of all Treasury issuance—a massive historical anomaly that is near an all-time high.
This means the US is financing long-term obligations with paper that matures in months, not years. This radical shift makes the entire interest expense structure hostage to the Fed. The cost of servicing the national debt now moves nearly in lockstep with the Fed’s policy rate.
If inflation resurges and the Fed is forced to raise rates even slightly, the compounding cost of servicing this debt will climb to unprecedented, mathematically impossible levels. This is the structural failure that central banks cannot paper over. It confirms the thesis for digital scarcity. $BTC and $ETH are the only escape valves when sovereign debt implodes.
This is not financial advice.
