“Nothing stops this train”, initially declared Lyn Alden a Bitcoin 2025, traveling the public through a presentation full of data that clarified one thing: the American tax system is out of control-and Bitcoin is more necessary than ever.
His first graphic designer, coming from the Fredaral Reserve Fred database, showed a decugent misunderstanding: the unemployment rate decreased, but the tax deficit increased over 7% of GDP. “This began around 2017, went overdrive during the pandemic and did not correct,” said Alden. “It’s not normal. We are in a new era.”
He did not chop the words. “Nothing stops this train because there are no more brakes attacked to it. The brakes are strongly compromised.
Why should bitcoiners worry? Because, as Alden explained, “it is important for the prices of activities, in particular something poor”. He showed a graphic rates compared to the real ones that showed the gold who gave himself while the real interest rates dived. “Five years ago, most would say that Bitcoin could not thrive in a high rate environment. Yet here we are: Bitcoin over $ 100k, gold to the new highs and banks that break under pressure.”
Subsequently, what called “The Touring Point” arrived, an side that shows how the growth of public debt has exceeded the debt of the private sector after 2008, launching a ten -year rule. “This is inflationary, persistent and means that the Fed can no longer slow down things.”
Another graph has revealed why the increase in interest rates is now accelerate The deficit. “They have lost their brakes. Increase rates makes the bill of federal interest explodes faster than it slows down bank loans.”
Alden called him a Ponzi: “The system is built on constant growth. Like a shark, he dies if he stops swimming.”
His slide showed an incessant increase in total debt compared to the basic money, except for a shock in 2008, and again after 2020. “This is not going backwards. Never.”
So why bitcoin? “Because it is the opposite. Poor, decentralized and mathematically limited,” concluded Alden. “There are two reasons why nothing stops this train: mathematics and human nature. Bitcoin is the mirror of this system and the best protection from it.”
