The scale of US debt has just hit a new record, reaching $38.51 trillion. This curve is soaring upward with little suspense and is unlikely to come down.

The underlying logic is actually very straightforward—debt monetization is just another way of printing money. As more cash floods the market, inflationary pressures follow. Liquidity in the market is expanding wildly, and those holding cash are actually experiencing continuous devaluation.

At this point, the value of Bitcoin becomes prominent. Its total supply is firmly capped at 21 million coins, and its inherent scarcity makes it the most solid hedge against excessive fiat issuance. When fiat currency depreciates, Bitcoin is there, waiting, with a supply that is unchangeable. For those worried about asset devaluation, this absolute scarcity provides a genuine safeguard.

38.51 trillion, this number really can't be held back anymore, it will explode sooner or later Cash in hand is just not worth anything, there's nothing we can do Bitcoin is stable this time, the total supply is set in stone and is the best insurance To put it simply, it's a money-printing game, and players have all seen through it The cap of 21 million coins is truly attractive, unbeatable

US debt is 38 trillion, the money printing machine can't stop, and those holding cash are all losing money.

38.51 trillion? Purely playing with numbers, anyway just print it. What can be used to hedge against things that can't be pulled down? It still has to rely on hard currencies like BTC.

Printing money without limits, those of us holding USD should prepare some Bitcoin.

38.51 trillion? This number has long surpassed the ceiling, now it's just waiting to enter the supernova stage. Cash is becoming increasingly worthless, and holders' mentality is collapsing more and more. Only Bitcoin's 21 million coins remain steady as a rock, giving no chance to the printing press. To put it simply, it's a matter of time; an eventual adjustment in the trajectory. Behind this liquidity frenzy, the true signal is already very clear. The essence of excessive currency issuance is wealth transfer; if you wake up too late, you'll only be harvested. In the end, it still relies on scarcity to support, there's no other way.

38.51 trillion? That's an astonishing number, but to be honest, I've become numb to it. Anyway, print more, anyway, devalue, those who should get in have already gotten in.

U.S. debt is 38 trillion dollars, and they are still printing money like crazy. The US dollar in hand is really depreciating rapidly.
