Excellent post mate! I guess an alternate ending to this story might be the gov't introduction of CBDC as replacement for broken dollar in a "great reset". It seems they're already going hard after bitcoin as a potential competitor for CBDC via Operation Chokepoint, no?

Another absolute banger Jesse - my conviction gets stronger every time!

US Government debt-to-GDP increased by 29% in 10 years (trading view chart). Imagine the impact a 1% allocation to BTC would have had in that time frame.

Would have loved a sub-section under point 3:

1) Spending cuts

2) Increased Taxes

3) Inflate the debt away

3a) Government convergence toward hard money by taking advantage of inflation

BTC shrinks the event horizon. Love the article Jesse!

โ€œThis is why, since 1800, in 51 out of 52 cases where a countryโ€™s debt-to-GDP ratio reached 130%, the country eventually defaulted.โ€

Respectfully, that's not true. In fact there are ten countries in the world right now with Debt-to-GDP ratios >= 130%, plus the USA on 129%.

Great work Jesse, do you have an opinion on how long this crisis will take to unfold? Or how far off a hyper inflationary economic environment is? Thanks
