Nuclear-level alert! Rogers warns of the "worst" financial crisis in history—Is Bitcoin Noah's Ark or the Titanic? The answer is here!

Explosive! Just last week, "Commodity King" Jim Rogers dropped a financial nuclear bomb: a global financial crisis more devastating than anything he's seen will erupt in 2026! This investment legend, who accurately predicted the 2008 crash and retired at 47, is selling off US stocks while aggressively accumulating gold and silver—more honest than any mouthpiece analyst.

Once the news broke, the crypto world immediately exploded. The community split into two factions: one shouting "Bitcoin is digital gold, and the crisis is fuel for takeoff"; the other trembling, "Stablecoins are tied to US bonds, this time the crypto circle can't escape."

As a veteran who has experienced three bull-bear cycles, I must tell you: this crisis, the crypto market is both the hardest hit and Noah's Ark. It all depends on your stance!

1. Rogers' "Doomsday Scenario": Two major powder kegs are already smoking!

Rogers isn't making this up on a whim. When speaking with the CEO of Japan's "Wamiko Group," he pointed directly to two irremovable powder kegs:

Powder keg 1: Global debt nuclear weapon—fuse already lit!

• US national debt exceeds $37 trillion, with daily interest payments higher than military spending—equivalent to burning $100,000 every second!

• Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio is 250%, more exaggerated than Greece during its crisis. High interest rates + high debt = death spiral!

• EU countries' pandemic-related debt matures in 2026, refinancing costs triple!

Even more deadly, although the Fed will cut rates in 2025, the absolute interest rate remains high (4.5%-5%). This means governments worldwide will pay interest equivalent to recreating a German economy every year!

Powder keg 2: AI bubble, crazier than the internet in 2000!

• Nvidia's market cap once approached the combined total of Europe's top 20 companies, with a P/E ratio of 60!

• Executives are fleeing en masse: Jensen Huang cashed out $900 million; Bezos and Zuckerberg sold over $5 billion worth in a single month!

• The median price-to-sales ratio of AI concept stocks is already 1.8 times that of the tech bubble peak in 2000!

Rogers warns: "When taxi drivers are talking about AI stocks, it's a signal to exit." Now, even your neighborhood aunt is asking "Should I buy the Nasdaq ETF?" Is this bubble far from bursting?

2. Crypto circle wants to stay safe? Dream on! Three binding links!

Many retail investors think crypto is an "outlaw zone," but the 2026 crisis is unavoidable because three bindings are already locked:

Binding 1: Stablecoins = Shadow banking for US bonds

Stablecoin market cap exceeds $260 billion (original user data), with 90% backing in US Treasuries and money market funds.

This means: US debt collapse → stablecoin de-pegging → DeFi ecosystem collapse → total network liquidity dries up.

In 2023, Silicon Valley Bank's collapse saw Circle holding $3.3 billion at SVB, and USDC briefly dipped to $0.88! That was just a test. If in 2026 the US debt market faces liquidity crisis, stablecoin issuers will be forced to sell bonds at discounts, USDT/USDC could de-peg collectively, and the entire crypto foundation could collapse!

Binding 2: Bitcoin = Tech stocks 2.0

Data shows BTC's correlation with the S&P 500 has surged from 0.29 in 2024 to 0.5. When US stocks fall, Bitcoin can't rise?

Even more painful, stocks like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Block, considered "crypto government bonds," are already discounted relative to BTC assets. When the crisis hits, they will be forced to sell BTC to buy back their own stocks, creating a death spiral: falling prices → forced sales → further declines.

Binding 3: Leverage = Accelerant of Doomsday

Hyperliquid exchange has only 11 employees but handles an average of $13 billion daily trading volume, offering 100x leverage! In October 2025, a $10 billion liquidation event occurred on the platform, directly triggering market panic.

Traditional finance leverage ratios are 10-15x; in crypto, it's often 50-100x. When the crisis hits, leverage will amplify declines by 3-5 times!

3. Rogers' "Crypto-Friendly" Survival Guide—Veterans are already copying it!

Rogers didn't directly talk about crypto, but his survival strategies are directly applicable:

1. Cash is king, hold USD

In crises, USD is the "real hard currency." In March 2020, when global assets plummeted, the dollar index rose from 95 to 103, an 8.5% increase.

Practical tip: Convert 30% of your assets into USDC/USDT, don't hold all in BTC! During the late stage of the crisis, use cash to pick up bloodied bargains.

2. Buy silver aggressively, not gold

Rogers prefers silver because:

• Spot shortages: COMEX silver inventories dropped to 850 million ounces, a 6-year low

• Industrial demand: PV, AI chips, EVs—by 2026, industrial demand will account for 60% of total silver demand

• Price gap: Gold-silver ratio still at 85:1, with a historical average of 65:1

Practical tip: Buy PAXG (tokenized gold) and SLVT (tokenized silver) in crypto—hedge risk and be able to exchange back to fiat anytime.

3. Reduce debt, stay away from high leverage

Check your contract positions now! De-leverage, de-leverage, de-leverage!

On March 12, 2020, Bitcoin plunged 52% in 24 hours due to a cascade of leverage liquidations. If you still have over 20% leverage now, you will be the first to be liquidated when the crisis hits.

4. Ultimate question: Are crypto assets a safe haven or a disaster zone?

My answer is harsh: short-term, a disaster zone; long-term, Noah’s Ark!

Short-term (3-6 months after the crisis): Liquidity black hole

When the VIX spikes above 40, all risk assets will be sold off. Bitcoin could drop 30%-50%, testing the $60,000 support level.

Because institutions need to raise cash to meet redemptions, they will prioritize selling the most liquid assets—Bitcoin. The 2020 March crash of 52% was a prelude.

Long-term (1-2 years after the crisis): Fulfillment of decentralization faith

If the traditional financial system truly collapses systematically, Bitcoin’s "digital gold" narrative will be realized.

Key catalysts:

• Fed forced to QE 5.0: balance sheet expands from $8 trillion to $15 trillion, trust in USD erodes

• Bank withdrawal restrictions: after the SVB event in 2023, 200 US banks are marked as "problem banks"

• Sovereign debt defaults: if Japan or Italy show signs of default, capital will flood into decentralized assets

Historical data: After the 2008 financial crisis, gold prices rose from $700 to $1900, a 170% increase. If the 2026 crisis is larger, Bitcoin could rise over 500%.

5. Veteran’s Crisis Survival Manual: Three-step strategy

Step 1: Now until Q1 2026 (pre-crisis)

• De-leverage: reduce contract positions to below 5%

• Stockpile cash: hold 30%-40% in USDC/USDT

• Allocate for hedging: buy 10% PAXG/SLVT (tokenized gold and silver)

• Stay away from trash: reduce altcoin holdings to below 5%

Step 2: During the crisis (Q2-Q3 2026)

• Don’t bottom fish: wait for VIX to fall **30%** from peak before buying

• Buy in stages: when BTC drops 10%, add 5% to position

• Catch rebounds: prioritize buying BTC, ETH, and then altcoins after recovery

• Avoid stablecoins: if USDT/USDC drops below 0.95, switch immediately to fiat

Step 3: Post-crisis (end of 2026–2027)

• Heavy in BTC/ETH: increase holdings to 60%

• Deploy RWA: buy compliant government bond tokens, real estate tokens

• Dollar-cost average AI leaders: after AI bubble bursts, Nvidia and Microsoft may be a decade-long buy

• Gradually take profits: when BTC surpasses $150,000, reduce position by 5% for every 10% increase

Interaction time: When the crisis hits, what will you do?

After reading this analysis, if a financial crisis erupts in 2026, you will:

A. Stay out of the market, wait for the bottom to buy

B. Embrace Bitcoin, bet on it becoming Noah’s Ark

C. Allocate gold and silver, the most reliable traditional hedge

D. Short the market—crisis is the best opportunity to make money

Remember: In crypto, surviving longer is more important than making quick gains. A crisis is not the end, but the start of wealth redistribution. Those who understand will pick gold from the ruins; those who don’t will become weeds in the bubble.
