Understanding Venezuela, Understanding Bitcoin
The US is now most frustrated by gold. If gold were merely a safe-haven asset, it wouldn't be rising so decisively. Now, countries around the world are effectively betting on gold as a way to short the US dollar—this is the most direct way to price the decline of the dollar.
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, gold became the biggest rival to the US dollar. Since the dollar has continuously replaced gold's function as a medium of exchange, the two have always moved in opposite directions. When industrial resources like silver, copper, and lithium also start rising in line with gold's logic, it signals that the world no longer trusts America's 'credit contract,' and instead recognizes the real collateral of physical resources.
This is why the US must now 'fight with its back against the wall' and launch a sudden strike on Venezuela to seize its oil. The US realizes that if it cannot regain dominance over physical resources—those backing gold and its resource-based alliance—the dollar will be worthless, and the dollar's hegemony will vanish. With Middle Eastern oil powers refusing to cooperate and the petrodollar system breaking down, the US must find a compliant and large oil reserve within its 'backyard.' By controlling Venezuela, the US can establish a massive oil and mineral closed loop across the Western Hemisphere—long-term, this is about re-collateralizing the dollar with physical assets.
However, short-term impacts are equally critical. The 2026 midterm elections are vital for Trump—losing would mean the end of his political life. To win votes, he needs low oil prices, a booming stock market, and low interest rates. While Venezuela's oil production can't be significantly boosted in the short term, the strike sends a signal in financial markets about future oversupply. This is enough to suppress speculative capital, allowing voters to see falling gas prices at the pump.
At the beginning of 2026, the world will be more surreal than any movie. When rumors start circulating online about Venezuela retaining $60 billion in Bitcoin, the consensus around decentralized, borderless, non-inflationary assets will evolve into a belief. The US is willing to forcibly cut interest rates for elections and launch military strikes for oil—this is the era when fiat currencies are weaponized. Bitcoin becomes the only survival fortress. This is also why the US is racing to seize the initiative and gain control over Bitcoin's pricing. The shift from 'private speculation' to 'national strategic reserve' marks Bitcoin's official 'coming-of-age' moment!
