Recently, a statement by Trump sparked public opinion: if Europe dares to sell US debt and American assets, it will face massive retaliation. This may seem like a political statement, but it actually exposes the most vulnerable part of the modern financial system.
Imagine, the world's largest "safe asset"—U.S. Treasuries—whose safety surprisingly depends on the restraint and political considerations of political figures. This is no joke—when a country's leaders can threaten creditor nations over trade disputes, the entire credit-based financial system is shaken. U.S. debt once represented "absolute safety," but now this "safety" must be questioned.
This precisely illustrates why on-chain assets and decentralized ecosystems are necessary. They offer a completely different way of carrying value: not relying on any government promises, unaffected by geopolitical influences, with security rooted in open-source code, mathematical algorithms, and global community consensus.
In traditional finance, your wealth security depends on decisions made in Washington or Beijing; but on decentralized networks, security comes from the distributed validation of millions of nodes and immutable blockchain records. A system based on code execution is more predictable and transparent than one driven by political will.
As the infrastructure for next-generation value storage and transfer is being rebuilt, this is no longer just a financial investment choice but a forward-looking participation in the future financial order.

Are US bonds really that safe? We've long questioned that.

Regarding U.S. debt, to put it simply, it's like pointing a gun at your own head and still expecting others to trust you. Wake up, everyone.

It's true that U.S. debt is no longer safe, and this is the peak moment. In plain terms, the logic of digital assets has finally been recognized by the mainstream.

ngl this is exactly the dark forest we've been warning about... when "safe assets" become hostage to political whims, the whole game rigged from the start. code doesn't threaten you over trade disputes, just sayin
