For the first time in US history, interest payments on non-mortgage debt in the US are equivalent to interest on mortgage debt, at $575 billion.
Exactly 3 years ago, interest on non-mortgage debt was at $250 billion.
This marks a 130% increase in household interest expense on non-mortgage items over just 3 years.
Furthermore, 3 years ago interest on non-mortgage debt was HALF of interest on mortgage debt.
Americans are "fighting" inflation with high interest rate debt.
How is this sustainable?
Luckily we have Bitcoin as an escape valve, if you place your excess capital there and get it to cold storage with condensed UTXO’s!
Non-Bitcoin escape valves:
  • debt moratorium
  • debt jubilee
  • even more incursions to civil liberties under the pretext of an emergency; CBDCs, soft lockdowns (15 minute cities, allowed to drive every other day)

The American reaction to this lingering financial hardship will be unlike anything the world has ever seen.
The coddled Americans values, identity and beliefs will be snapped like a twig under fiats boots.

We live in a world where anything above 4 percent interest is a catastrophe

Great point. We need to start somewhere and remember anything above zero compounds!

This isn't and we definitely will be the lucky ones because we have Bitcoin as a saviour.
