By 2026, the US debt scale has hit a new all-time high, and the growth rate is the fastest since World War II. Now, the United States faces only two options:

One is to confront directly and default on its debt. But doing so would destroy the country's creditworthiness, and the global financial markets would collapse as well. Don't even think about it.

The other is much more realistic: keep printing money. By accelerating liquidity release and using devalued dollars to pay off old debts—seems like a solution, but in reality, it's a form of breach of contract. Debt pressure is eased, but the purchasing power of the dollar is gradually evaporating.

Interestingly, the US is now betting all its chips on artificial intelligence. They wager that AI can boost GDP growth far beyond the interest payments on debt. For the US, this is no ordinary gamble—it's a battle they must win. Expectations of dollar devaluation, liquidity flooding, and rising demand for safe-haven assets... these changes are reshaping the fundamentals of the entire crypto market.

The dollar printing to the end, anyway we've seen through it long ago. How many years can the AI rhetoric fool people... When liquidity floods in, crypto takes off. No suspense this time.

The printing press starts running, and the dollar dies. This is the real wealth transfer. The ones who get hurt the most are still ordinary people's savings...

Printing US dollars makes our coins rise in value, this logic makes sense. The Federal Reserve's move is essentially giving crypto a second life...

The US dollar is in a chronic suicide, once the printing press starts, it can't stop. Basically, it's betting that AI can save lives. If we lose, we all have to buy Bitcoin for risk hedging; if we win... we still have to buy, haha.

As soon as the printing press starts, the dollar depreciates. This logic has been played out long ago... But this time is different. Can AI really save the United States? I'm skeptical.

The expectation of USD depreciation + liquidity overflow, this combination is a powder keg for on-chain assets. From a technical perspective, historically whenever macro liquidity is so abundant, BTC always presents arbitrage opportunities. But the problem is, we small players are always the last to take the bait. What if we lose the AI betting game? The safest place is often in the eye of the storm; we're all betting that we're not the slow ones running away.

It should be noted that the author's framework essentially omits a key variable—according to white paper-level monetary theory literature, the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy has reached its physical limit in the 2024-2026 cycle. On-chain data indicates that the inflow of stablecoins has already begun to reverse, which precisely confirms that Satoshi Nakamoto's original assertion about a "trust crisis" was not unfounded.

Once the printing presses start, we coin holders will win... The depreciation of the US dollar is probably the spring for BTC.
