Global Debt to Hit $12.5m Per Bitcoin - What’s Plan B?
  • By the end of this year, the world’s combined debt will hit $255 trillion.
  • So there will be an extra $12 trillion expanded to the world’s debt by the end of 2019 compared to the end of 2018.

By the end of this year, the world’s combined debt will hit $255 trillion. This would equal to $32,500 for every person on the planet or $12.1 million per Bitcoin.

So there will be an extra $12 trillion expanded to the world’s debt by the end of 2019 compared to the end of 2018.

This data comes as the United States national debt hits $23 trillion. Especially given the Federal Reserve seemingly unfazed by the idea of debt continuing to grow at an alarming rate.

For Bitcoin enthusiasts, the result of the fiat economy succumbing to more than $12 million of debt for each coin of the leading cryptocurrency that will ever exist was clear.

Twitter analyst Rhythm summarised the situation as “Plan A has already failed.”

Fiat currency can be manipulated by central banks, this is something most of us are well aware of at this point and it is usually done through economic policy. 

Continuing arguments made by Saifedean Ammous in his book, “The Bitcoin Standard,” Trace Mayer appealed to listeners recently in regards to the Tales from the Crypt podcast to take back control of their finances.

“Are you going to claim your monetary sovereignty? Hold your own private keys? Run your own full node? That’s how you fight the war today,” he said.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. For more news on this and other crypto updates, keep it with CryptoDaily!
