Bitcoin's Price Performance and U.S. Debt Crisis
Bitcoin has been performing well, breaking above its 200-day moving average and surpassing $28,000 a coin. This price surge is believed to be related to increased awareness about the unsustainable nature of the U.S. debt, which recently reached $33 trillion. Millionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio has warned about a potential deleveraging event, signaling a debt crisis in the country.
