Happy Wednesday!

Bitcoin is facing the 100% debt trap — but it’s not Bitcoin’s debt that’s in question. Quite the opposite, sovereign debt could prompt more demand for BTC.

Bitcoin Faces '100% Debt Trap' Tailwind As IMF Warns Of Global Debt Surge

The IMF is sounding the alarm: global public debt could hit 100% of world GDP by 2029, driven by the U.S., China, and surging defense budgets worldwide.

That's the scenario where Bitcoin stops being a speculative asset and starts being a sovereign hedge.

Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation are sitting on $110 trillion in U.S. assets, and when that wealth transfers to Millennials and Gen Z, crypto gets a structural demand shock.
