 Need a reason to hold Bitcoin…?

Over 204 years from inception through 1980, the United States accumulated $900 billion in national debt. In the ensuing 44 years since, we have added $34 trillion to our national debt. Both parties are responsible for condemning us to inevitable financial ruin. It is absolutely not a question of if; it’s a question of when. Interest expense alone will cost us a trillion dollars in 2025. This should piss every American off to an extreme degree, regardless of political party.
