A 2024 Artikel Gespräche über ihre Strategie: Sie glauben an eine radikale Wiedergeburt der USA durch eine große Finanzkrise – eine, die einen Schuldenverzug erzwingen, die Federal Reserve beseitigt und das System durch ein libertäres Modell ersetzen würde, das sich auf die Kryptowährung konzentriert.
Diese Ideen haben sich in der Vergangenheit wie Verschwörungstheorien angehört, aber im Jahr 2025 scheinen sie plausibler. Die derzeitige Verwaltung lebt von Chaos als Ablenkung, doch ihre Richtlinien entsprechen zunehmend mit dieser Vision eines technischen Zusammenbruchs. Ist das eigentlich passiert?
Key financial backers of the current U.S. government, including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, have advocated for a U.S. debt default and the dismantling of the American financial system. Are they now pushing these plans forward?

How can we go to crypto when the current system is „Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government“ so Jawboning in essence? How is crypto not the same or worst we now have „Backed by the full faith and credit of the Silicon Valley“, I don’t think so Tim. We are, imo, going back to gold and by default Silver for general commerce. As it’s been the case for thousands of years. Ironically, all those computers need a lot of Silver and there is a huge deficit.
It wouldn’t be the first time a nation changed currency in order to counter runaway inflation. Just look at the Brazilian Real as an example among many.
Defaulting on the debt would be bad for the rest of the world, but so would raising the debt ceiling for eternity. Or just raising it until we die and let the kids deal with the fallout. We have been doing that for a couple of generations now.
At least if we defaulted on the debt, we would have 60% of the national budget to work with again.
Who knows. Cults are hard to read bcause they change 180 quite often, without even blinking. I do beleive that there are few guys bored to death that want this new feudalism bllshit bcause they won the game of capitalism and now their lives feel empty. But those are tricky opportunistic bastards, they adjust their plans as they go bcause in their Utopia dreams they didnt count on millions serfs showing up with pitchforks at their doors.
Government bonds are the collateral that back up our banking system. When China sells us sneakers we sell them bonds. The reason the dollar is the reserve currency of the world is because we don’t default on our debt. It’s one thing to crash the markets with a dumb trade war. It would be an entirely different thing to turn America into a third world country, destroy the banking system and our global reputation in one fell swoop.
Anyone who knows how crypto works at a basic level should see that it is more stable and less prone to manipulation than traditional currency. Fiat is controlled by humans and therefore manipulable by governments. We have plenty of examples of this throughout history. Bitcoin has over $1 Trillion in incentives to steal and it has not been broken yet.
The problem with cryptocurrency adaption isn’t that it isn’t a better system, it’s that there’s little incentive for those who own the wealth in the current system to switch to it. We’d need a major catalyst for this to happen, ideally one that doesn’t reset the assets of those who currently hold them in fiat, because they would aggressively oppose it otherwise.
I don’t see anything extreme like this happening anytime soon. This would mean replacing the global reserve currency with a new one, which sounds very implausible. More likely, we’ll see small experiments with countries/ companies/ communities trying out crypto, with a possible eventual tipping point in the future where widespread adoption takes place. But change usually takes a long time. I wouldn’t expect anything major like this to change soon.
How many (tr)(b)illions of usd do people on retirement hold on us bonds ? They might need their ultra rich bunkers if they pull this one out! They would destroy the life savings of so many us citizens.
The US cannot default on its debt for the simple reason that the US debt is in $US and the US prints $US. This is a unique situation since all other countries in the world also have debt expressed in $US but unlike the US, they can’t print them.
People arguing for a US default are simply angling for wiping their own debt.
People who want a well governed civil society abandoned the fantasy of a libertarian anything long ago. Libertarians are anti-society, anti-governance and driven by personal greed and quest for control. It’s ridiculous that you can be this rich and still this ignorant.
Yeah, that won’t affect them. In fact, they’ll get richer off of it. But the vast majority of Americans? Ruin.
This type of talk is the reason some countries are discussing removing their gold reserves from the USA.
