🟣 Not only the federal government owes $37 trillion. America is drowning in debt. In 2025, they'll run a $1.9 trillion deficit (more than 6% of GDP) and pay over $1.11 trillion just to cover interest. More than the entire U.S. defense budget. By 2035, the Congressional Budget Office projects U.S. debt will hit $58 trillion, or 130% of GDP. Moody’s has already stripped the U.S. of its last AAA credit rating. Their warning? Debt is no longer a long-term issue. It’s now a strategic liability. Even worst: M2 is expanding again → Up 4.2% year-over-year as of March 2025. That’s the fastest pace since 2022. We’re watching inflationary pressure return, while real yields evaporate. #Bonds, once the gold standard of safety, are now melting ice cubes. And still, #Congress continues to shovel more fuel on the fire. The latest round of extended #Trump-era tax cuts, wrapped in the ironically named “One Big Beautiful Bill,” will gut federal tax revenue by $4.5 trillion over the next decade, while offering just 1.1% additional GDP growth. I don’t see this as #policy, but arithmetic failure. → As trust is dying, #capital is flocking to #Bitcoin. The new hedge against political incompetence. With a fixed supply of 21 million and no central issuer, Bitcoin is structurally immune. When fiat collapses, code doesn’t beg for bailouts. Look, we’re experiencing a coordinated, institutional repositioning: 👇 🟠 Over 59% of institutional investors in the U.S now allocate at least 10% of their #portfolios to BTC and digital #assets. 🟠 #BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust crossed $50 billion in AUM in less than a year. #Fidelity is right behind. Total spot ETF assets are projected to hit $80 billion by end of Q2 2025. 🟠 The latest #Coinbase / #EY-Parthenon survey is crystal clear: 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their #crypto allocations in 2025. 59% of them will go beyond 5% of AUM. 🟠 Nearly 100 publicly listed companies now hold BTC on their balance sheets. 🟠 #Treasury management firms are spinning up Bitcoin-specific advisory practices. 👉 Now, sovereigns are entering the game. 🟠 In March 2025, the U.S. #government consolidated seized BTC into a newly designated Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. I see it as an admission. #BTC is no longer a threat. It’s an asset. 🟠 European central banks are buying too. Quietly, but with intent. What was once ridiculed as “internet money” is now treated like digital gold. #Nostr, I’m not writing about a “crypto story” here but about a capital allocation story. The old model of relying on bonds is broken. Real yields: gone. Trust: gone. The “risk-free rate” now carries systemic risk. And we’re watching the global risk-free asset quietly shift from Treasury bonds to the hardest money ever. 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵. The world’s largest asset managers are already on it. The next move is fully strategic. Yours could be too. https://blossom.primal.net/2edac2cb1d274e8b9e311dcc713b610fc8ea0e9b674fa06f95881c427df56811.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/9032f1a653efd96cce60cbc7eeef6ddc8570b3ad44cbb7398c79eb0f01291f27.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/80d8f51f81a6b531f48be189ce10790afa1f961041b266ab548bd88e1f6aa95e.jpg

Your Pheu-Thai head of party's speech last Friday is not criticised with a rational logic that BOT should care and take some actions with her speech. It's ok that We have to use both of Fiscal & Monetary policy to stimulate Our economy in some story-lines, however, if Central Bank management has not autonomy power to deny some bad effects from the activation of populism policies then the car will has more speed to control and the driver and passengers will be injured or died in this case. #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ #ดอกเบี้ยนโยบาย #ธปท #ความเป็นอิสระ #Politics #Political #Policy #PheuThai #InterestRatePolicy #BOT #Independency #AnEconStudent #Econ101 https://www.matichonweekly.com/hot-news/article_766467
It is an evidence to proof that Govt. has to focus to reform Thailand economy structure rather than engross to forced BOT should reduce interest rate policy (RP). Even BOT cut RP 100 bps to reduce Thailand interest rate policy from 2.5% to 1.5%, Thailand economy will not have a fresh wake up from the Faust nightmare and have a full of fuel tank to do daily life routines. Govt. should reform Thailand economy structure as 1 of tools to motivate Thailand economy rather than only has a hope with the cutting RP by BOT. After Free Trade Area policy with ASEAN+3 has activated, Chinese capitals have had non-barrier to entry to Thailand & ASEAN and have moved to attack Thai manufacture industry by the economies of scale technique. If Thailand Govt. does not take a quick action to reform some Acts to protect and support Thai manufacture industry, then it will end up more than We have seen Today. #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ #ดอกเบี้ยนโยบาย #ปฏิรูปเชิงโครงสร้าง #Politics #Political #Policy #PheuThai #InterestRatePolicy #StructuralReform #AnEconStudent #Econ101 https://www.prachachat.net/economy/news-1546745

IMO, Trans-NGOs should find co-operation points and reduce their expectation in the change of name prefix's acts issue. As I am a Thai-Transgender, I may suggest We should not demand only to change the name prefix for Our preference, however, We shall point the negative effects of name prefix that Non-LGBTQIA+s have suffered too. Maybe, why We do not cancel the name prefix in every Govt. docs and use only "คุณ (Khun)" as the solution to solve the inequality in Gender's issue that is the bad legacy of the colonial era and many of married woman also do not want to use "Mrs" as their name prefix too? PS, the "Sex" information will show only at hospital for the correct diagnosis because some symptom is related with "Sex" such as prostate grand or uterus infected. #LGBTQIA #Discrimination #TransRights #NamePrefix #Policy #Laws https://mgronline.com/live/detail/9670000017800
It is the suggestions with "Guardian" lens that real estate developers has complained they do not be nationalism's traitors. It's OK that Thailand will have less population by the lower-born society and We will get more opportunities from the risen up of foreign real estate holder's ratio. However, if Govt. allows foreigners to have free limitations as real estate holders in Thailand, it will make worse story-line in the next chapters of novel that is called "Thailand". Thai citizens have damaged from this point that they can not be real estate holders because the real estate price is inflated by the changed of foreign holder ratio's policy that only give some benefits for the stakeholders of real estate companies and the inequality of income distribution. Nowadays, many of Thai citizens still cannot be real estate holders then why Govt. should allow foreigners to be real estate holders anymore for some benefits of the "Minorities" as real estate stakeholders like the above suggestions? #Political #Policy #PolicyMaker #Thailand #RealEstate #AnEconStudent #Econ101 https://www.bangkokbiznews.com/property/1114793
Why many people in Pheu-Thai party are engrossed only with “Shitcoin Wallet” & “RP reduction” but do not find the other solutions to fixed Thailand economy engines? May I ask people in Pheu-Thai party 1 question to debate with Me? Does BOT can help Thailand economy problems that are created by the super structural people with the interest rate policy (RP) reduction? IMO, even if BOT has reduced RP 25bps from 2.50% to 2.25%, it can not help Thai citizens to get more purchasing power with their pockets because Thai citizens have more fixed interest debt (like credit card, cash express card, personal loan, car & motorcycle leasing) than variable debt (like housing debt, OD, business investment debt) in the household debt issue. BOT has forced Banks & Non-Banks to reduce credit card, cash express card, & personal loan interest rate that their price’s stocks was dumped like the fallen angels when this policy was activated since the pre-pandemic era (Sep 2019). Because of the fixed minimum amount of every payments in loan mutual contract, Thai citizens will not have more purchasing power though BOT has cut the RP & Banks has cut their loan rate too. When the RP is cut & loan rates are reduced, borrowers will not paid less than the minimum amount that is written in loan mutual contract so it will deduct more loan principal and their loan mutual contract will be speedy closed, vice versa, borrowers will not pay any top-up for their payment because it has had buffer amounts in loan payments for the risen up interest rate era. Maybe, the main victims of the shocking risen up RP are Thai citizens who do not know how to clarify their loan mutual contracts & financial literacy that they had known their ability will be able to cover fully & everlastingly their loan payments. Thus, Govt. should support only the victims and do not use the one size fit all policy’s style because it will have worse effects if the RP is cut as the “To the Moon” story-line in Thailand inflation rate by THB devaluation because the premium gap between Thailand RP and FED RP is spread widely. #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ #ดอกเบี้ยเงินกู้ #ดิจิมอนออมเล็ต #Politics #Political #Policy #PheuThai #LoanRate #DigitalWallet #AnEconStudent #Econ101 #Thailand https://www.prachachat.net/politics/news-1505503
Why NESDCs do not talk about the main reason of Thailand economy risks that has had the structural problem, thus it has impacted Thailand household debt & export issues? NESDCs only said Govt. has done it with every fiscal policy then shall I ask 1 question that why Govt. does not hurry up to submit Thailand budget acts in fiscal year 2024 after We got the broken promise Govt. on last August. #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ #ดิจิมอนออมเล็ต #Politics #Political #Policy #PheuThai #DigitalWallet #สภาพัฒน์ #สำนักงานสภาพัฒนาการสังคมและเศรษฐกิจแห่งชาติ #NESDC #OfficeOfTheEconomicAndSocialCouncil #AnEconStudent #Econ101 https://www.thansettakij.com/business/economy/588896
Almost of Thailand independent organizations do not oppose the "Shitcoin Wallet" policy that provide to breakable-income's group in Thailand. However, they have only opposed the issue that Govt. will only make a policy for Thailand "Oligarchy" benefits and do not care the long-run effect of this policy with Economics lens. #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ #ดิจิมอนออมเล็ต #Politics #Political #Policy #PheuThai #DigitalWallet #AnEconStudent #Econ101 https://www.matichonweekly.com/hot-news/article_748568
Should We have to keep 1 of discriminated legacies of the colonial era as the name prefix in Govt. documents after the main benefit of this thing has gone now? 🧐🏳️⚧️🇹🇭 #LGBTIQA #TransGender #Discrimination #TransRights #NamePrefix #Policy #Laws #Thailand https://www.prachachat.net/finance/news-1504574
If You said the arrival tax when travelers are coming in Thailand boundary (it is about 10US$ for 1 air passenger & 5US$ for 1 ground or water passenger) is affected the mood of travelers then We can assume that foreign people are not prefer to visit Thailand. IMO, Govt. should do some hurry up actions to motivate travel's demand to Thailand then We will not only care the effect from the arrival tax that We will use them to recovery Our country resource for Our sustainable economy and We will have travelers for a long long time. #ArrivalTax #Taxes #Policy #PolicyMaker #Travel #Thailand #ECON101 #AnEconStudent https://www.prachachat.net/tourism/news-1503773
It is an evidence to show that is the failure of Thailand news industry's era. Most of news companies only focus their profit and do not present the necessary informations to Thai citizens. Nowadays, We do not hear some foreign news like the past such as oil price in the world market. Thus, We have seen a news like an attach link that reports Thai citizens blame "Why oil price in Thailand is only stepped up in January 2024?". #News #Oil #OilPrice #Thailand #Politics #Policy #AnEconStudent https://www.bangkokbiznews.com/news/news-update/1111003
The legalized lottery is 1 of Govt.'s tools that creates some asset re-allocation's chances for citizens who live in the hopeless society. They hope "they could upgrade their social status or get some pocket money for their better living in next fortnight (that are suffered from the unfixed super-structure problem) from their fortune to win some lottery's prizes". In the social media's era, We will be able to have more chances to play illegal gambles such as foreign country's lotteries that have more frequent reward announcements. If Govt. does not action something to pull money back from the illegal gamble then the economic social status will be destroyed and could not fix it again. The legalized lottery does not make only social loss, however, it can create some benefits if Govt. has some suitable policies to re-allocate assets that will make more social equality. #Politics #Policy #Lottery #N3 #L6 #Thailand https://mgronline.com/qol/detail/9670000008801
The Fiat-Standard has destroyed Us. Most of cane's farmers still fire their cane's farms to fix the less labor's problem & send their product to sugar factories in time. Thus, Thailand has to face the air pollution from this issue and some representatives do not action anything and demand villagers to accept their fate and have patient mindset because farmers have resided more than villagers who are affected this problem and it will happen only 7-10 days per year. #Politics #Policy #FiatStandard #AirPollution #PM25 #Thailand #ChonBuri https://mgronline.com/local/detail/9670000008503
It's so freak! Are You not feel it is a paradox reason when You have said Thailand has deflation from the increasing policy interest rate by BOT but Thai people have more expenditure in their daily life? 🧐 #BOT #InterestRate #Policy #Politics #ECON101 #Thailand #วันนี้เพื่อไทยโกหกอะไร #ตระบัดสัตย์ https://www.matichonweekly.com/hot-news/article_741903
If the Thailand policy makers did not give highly support real estate developers by the changed ratio of foreign owner in condominium's policy and the nominee's holders. Then, the housing price in Thailand will not rocket like this and Thai citizens will be able to hold their dream real estate easier. The main reason of the rejected loan's rate problem is not the result of the increasing policy rate by BOT, however, the housing price has rocketed to the moon from the policy that I have described above. It will not make painful to Us even interest rate is more increasing if Our dream real estate price is not high than the reality of Our purchasing power like this situation. Thailand economy structure does not support Thai citizens to get their dream real estate price more than 1.5M฿ per unit because most of Thai citizens have not gotten enough wages from the inefficiency economy structure. Thus, if the economy structure is not changed anymore, then Thai citizens will not have more chances to get their dream real estate and Thailand GDP will freeze forever. #Policy #Politics #ECON101 #RealEstate #Thailand https://www.matichonweekly.com/column/article_739083
Even Bangkokians & People in Thailand have a new governor from the election in 2022 & 2023, they have not gotten a successful pollution's resolution because the super structure that is the main causation is not changed anything. Thailand economy will not growth anymore, if We can not fix the super structure system. The market structure that will fix the inequality issue is the "Monopolistic" market. It will bring the opportunities to Thai entrepreneurs who have small capital to create their chances by the difference of their product's creativity and push Thailand economy to get out from the trap that has fallen since the Seaboard Project's era. #Politics #Policy #ECON101 https://www.prachachat.net/general/news-1480023
