The legendary investor Rogers, who co-founded Quantum Fund with Soros and created a 4200% myth over ten years, recently issued a warning: the probability of a financial crisis in 2026 is extremely high. This is not alarmist. When he shorted the US real estate market in 2005, he was ridiculed by Wall Street, but three years later, the subprime storm made the world pay the price for that complacency. This time, he points to two deep-seated risks.



**Debt, the Time Bomb**

The global debt has reached a record high of $355 trillion. Specifically: US federal debt has surpassed $39 trillion, Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio has soared to 267%, and 37 low-income countries are already in debt distress. The global debt-to-GDP ratio is as high as 368%—what does this mean? It indicates that the total global economic output cannot even cover these debts within a year.

More painfully, the once-safe asset, US Treasuries, are now being sold off aggressively. The 10-year US Treasury yield has broken through 4.5%, and the traditional safe haven has been lost. When central banks and institutional investors start reducing holdings, how dangerous is this signal?

**How far has the AI Bubble inflated?**

The valuation of the AI sector has completely detached from reality. Some AI-related companies have price-to-earnings ratios soaring to 115, and price-to-book ratios exceeding 8. This is not investing; it’s gambling. History has shown that all疯狂脱离价值基本面的泡沫 eventually end in collapse.

**Hot Money Escape Routes**

When fiat currency confidence begins to falter, smart money votes with its feet. Bitcoin’s market capitalization has surpassed $2.1 trillion, becoming a ballast in the cryptocurrency field. Against this macro backdrop, the performance of different assets will diverge significantly. Risk assets will come under pressure, while assets with scarcity and safe-haven attributes may be revalued.

Rogers isn't bragging this time; is 2026 really going to explode? I can't understand the 355 trillion debt, but Bitcoin is indeed taking the hit this time. AI valuation at 115 times... hilarious, this is just a casino, brother. Even US debt is starting to run, indicating that smart money has already bet on the other side. History is repeating itself, but this time we have crypto.

Rogers really isn't joking. He was right about the last subprime mortgage crisis, and I believe him this time about the debt bomb. That AI valuation... haha, it's just a game of pass-the-parcel, and it's going to blow up sooner or later. Bitcoin has been accumulated early, waiting for fiat currency credit to completely collapse. I'm optimistic about crypto; safe-haven assets are about to take off. This game of debt can't last much longer; 355 trillion is just too outrageous.

Rogers is really not just talking big this time. How can we possibly repay 355 trillion in debt? With 355 trillion US bonds being sold off, the safe haven has collapsed—what else can we rely on? AI valuation at 115 times PE? This is not investing; it's gambling with our lives. Hot money is flowing into Bitcoin, the trend is very clear, brother. 39 trillion US debt, 267% daily debt ratio—these numbers are enough to make people nervous. It's Rogers again, the soothsayer. Mocked in 2005, now he's back. A debt ratio of 368%. Frankly, the global economy can't even digest these debts in a year. So, only the brave are still willing to take on AI now.

Rogers really isn't bragging. After being proven wrong on the real estate market prediction last time, he's even more cautious this time... I'm truly afraid of the 355 trillion debt bomb, and I have no interest in holding US Treasuries with a yield of 4.5%. That AI with a 115x P/E ratio is exactly the kind of high-position buy-in I made, now I've lost everything, and people say that deviating from fundamentals is just armchair quarterbacking... But looking at Bitcoin's performance over the past two years, it really seems like smart money is front-running the market. Although I keep chasing high and getting cut, maybe this time is really different? On-chain data shows whales are accumulating frantically... Could it be that 2026 will really bring a big revaluation? Can I, as a retail investor, turn things around?

Rogers is crying wolf again. Is this for real this time... But on the other hand, a 368% debt ratio is indeed frightening. It feels like it won't last much longer.

Rogers is at it again, talking about a crisis in 2026? Anyway, I'm all in on Bitcoin, who cares.
