Unpopular Opinion: We should rename “Bitcoin hardware wallets” to “Bitcoin signing devices.” It’d fix so many problems in understanding for Bitcoin beginners and make it evident why a passphrase is needed. Everything is a @SeedSigner with extra steps and tradeoffs.

This is insane. This is INSANE. This is a blatantly obvious sign of the impending doom of the U.S. Dollar and all fiat currencies. Here's the situation: The United States Treasury issues bonds and other investment securities. They call these, “treasuries.” The U.S. Treasury issues treasuries when the U.S. Federal Government spends past its budget, resulting in a “budgetary deficit.” The sale of treasuries makes up for the loss. The treasuries are sold and tacked on as debt. This is the substance of the big $40 trillion debt number in the United States. Key point: The U.S. Federal Government has been in a budgetary deficit in 51 of the last 55 years, with the last surplus year being in 2001. Here's how it actually plays out: A year passes. The government spends too much money, creating a budgetary deficit. The government finances that deficit by selling debt (in the form of treasuries). The government receives money to cover its spending, and tacks on the sold debt to its debt total. Next year comes around. The government spends too much money again, creating another deficit. Same mechanism... government sells debt, receives money, and tacks on more debt. But there's an issue. Old debt is coming due. But the government doesn't have the money to pay for it - it has been spent. What does the government do? It issues new debt to pay off the old debt. Round and round this goes, year after year. This is how the government operates. Key point: The U.S. Treasury, which is part of the U.S. Federal Government, has to sell new debt to new investors to pay off the old debt from old investors. This is because of 1) the constant budgetary deficits and 2) the debt from years past coming due. Key point: Given that the definition of a Ponzi scheme is, “An investment scheme where new investor money is used to pay off old investors.” …The U.S. Federal Government is running a Ponzi scheme. To the tune of $40 trillion, and counting. Trillion is just a word. Let’s make sure we note the significance. A *billion* seconds ago was 1994 (32 years ago). A *trillion* seconds ago was 30,000 B.C. Multiply that trillion by 40. That's 1.2 million B.C. *Over a million years' worth of debt* That’s the scale of the United States debt bill. But WAIT. It gets worse. Key point: The U.S. Treasury always has to have buyers of its debt, because if it doesn’t, the government won’t be able to pay off 1) its deficit spending and 2) the old debt coming due (and the interest on the debt). If it fails to pay those off, the Government would default and collapse. Well, then, who buys all the U.S. Government debt? Key point: The largest single buyer and owner of the U.S. Federal Government debt is THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ITSELF. Don’t trust, verify (picture attached below): TAKE A SECOND TO CONTEMPLATE HOW INSANE THAT IS. The U.S. Government runs a budgetary deficit, then issues treasuries to pay for the spending, then, at a bigger rate than anybody else, buys the treasuries to cover the loss. An unbelievable Ponzi scheme. The U.S. Government is the director of the Ponzi scheme, the old investor, and the new investor. A true masterclass. But how do they do this? They have a money printer. It's that simple. The debt might as well not be real. Welcome to the world of fiat currency. Key point: The United States is not the only country that runs this playbook. 161 of the 189 countries with available data are in budgetary deficits. That's over 85%. The Ponzi scheme is everywhere. The U.S. is the kingpin of the modern monetary world. They are the head honcho, the high priest, the big cheese. The current global financial economy is built on the backs of the United States. There would be a massive problem if the United States had debt buyer troubles. In short, an increasing number of investors are growing scared of the United States debt situation, turning them away from the purchasing of U.S. Treasuries. Recent headlines: "Foreign Private Investors Cut US Treasury Purchases as US Debt Funding Risks Grow" -August 19, 2026 “Bonds Are Getting Hammered, and Wall Street Says the Rout Won’t End Anytime Soon” -August 19, 2026 “Foreign holdings of US Treasuries fall in June, led by Japan, UK, China, data shows” -August 17, 2026 “US sells 30-year bonds at highest borrowing costs since 2001” -August 14, 2026 With weakening demand and surging Treasury yields, the US Treasury has just announced "it will double the size of long-term US government debt buybacks following the rapid surge in US Treasury yields. Repurchases of $2 billion will now be increased to "at least" $4 billion, the US Treasury said. The move is intended to provide "liquidity support" for bonds maturing in 10 to 30 years as total US debt nears $40 trillion." Translation: "Nobody wants our bonds, thus, we are going to print money to buy our own bonds. And our previous buyback operation wasn't enough, so we're doubling it." But that money printing causes inflation, which is a dangerous outcome. Here's where the cookie crumbles: The U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, has a 2% inflation target. Inflation has not been at 2% recently, and in fact accelerated higher in the first half of 2026. The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates elevated as a method of discouraging borrowing and spending, and taming inflation. But it's not working. And there's a bigger problem. Key point: The U.S. Federal Government pays interest to investors who own the treasuries, and this interest is part of the budget. High interest rates = higher interest payments. Higher interest payments = more federal spending. More federal spending = bigger budgetary deficits. Bigger budgetary deficits = more debt issuance. More debt issuance = higher supply of treasuries. Higher supply of treasuries = lower demand. Lower demand = fewer buyers. Fewer buyers = Treasury printing money to buy its own bonds. Treasury printing money = higher inflation. Higher inflation = higher interest rates. Higher interest rates = higher interest payments. A catastrophic feedback loop. It's math. And the math is brutal. The interest paid out by the Federal Government has EXPLODED in recent years (image attached below). Start the chain at "higher interest payments" and you realize the fate of the system... The United States Dollar is screwed. This is a debt spiral. There is no way out. You are witnessing it live. These are years that will go down in the all-time history books. --- Every fiat currency has failed, and for the same reason. Turning on the money printer is too tempting. Don't forget, the U.S. Government will never let the Treasury market fail, because that would result in an automatic default on the debt and an unbelievably chaotic avalanche of collapse. They will always turn to the money printer to bail things out. The Treasury will continue to print more money to keep the system afloat. Today's increase in government debt buybacks is simply additional evidence. But inflation is the fatal flaw. The Ponzi scheme is in its final chapter. The endgame is here. The inflation train has left the station, and it's never coming back. Covid put the ruin into hyperdrive. Inflation ran away, now it cannot be tamed. It is feeding on itself, and will continue to do so, over and over, gradually, then suddenly. And then, poof. It's gone. Worthlessness. If you haven't noticed, the U.S. Dollar has been heading toward the "worthless" direction for quite some time (pull up your favorite USD purchasing power chart). It is inevitable. The U.S. Dollar, and all fiat currencies, will die. The Phoenix will rise from the ashes. An innovative, specifically designed, global, unprintable, incorruptible, verifiable, instantaneous digital monetary system will emerge, unchained from the grasp of bankers and governments, once and for all. Fix the money, fix the world.

I have nothing to distance myself from. I’ve never met him, and a lot of the coverage around Twenty One’s launch was misreported by the media.

An American takes out a student loan for $8,645. After years of payments, he’s paid $7,450. His current balance? $8,750. He’s paid almost the entire loan — and somehow still owes MORE than he borrowed. This isn’t “education financing” — it’s legalized usury.

Imagine buying such a bad investment that you have to spend your entire life trying to convince others to also buy it so you won’t lose money. Do you see people out here begging others to buy Apple or Google stock? Of course not.

In December of 2019, I actually texted @milessuter that I had an idea about moving currencies over Lightning and using Bitcoin rails inside Cash App. He asked if I could put a document together and present it to his team. I did. Their roadmap was full, so they suggested I apply for a job and maybe we’d work on it someday. Five months later, I founded @Strike. Five years later, here we are today. Here is the document I made almost five years ago. ✊ @milessuter @CashApp
