One of Putin’s key advisors just dropped some interesting claims about what America might be planning with digital currencies. Anton Kobyakov thinks the US government is cooking up something big to deal with their money troubles.
Here’s the thing – America owes an absolutely crazy amount of money right now. We’re talking about more than $35 trillion in total debt, which has basically doubled from what it was just a decade ago. That’s the kind of number that makes your head spin.
Kobyakov spoke at some economic meeting and basically said he thinks American officials are trying to game the system. His theory is that they want to somehow convert all that massive debt into digital dollar coins, which would let them wipe the slate clean.
He’s drawing comparisons to other times when America made huge financial moves to get out of trouble. Like back in the 1930s during really tough economic times, or when Nixon decided to ditch the gold standard in the 70s.
What’s kinda interesting is that some American politicians are actually talking about buying tons of Bitcoin. Senator Lummis even wants the government to purchase a million bitcoins over the next few years.
Whether there’s actually some master plan happening is anyone’s guess though.
Conclusion
Whether Putin’s advisor is right or just stirring up conspiracy theories, one thing’s certain – America’s debt problem isn’t going away anytime soon, and crypto might play some role.
