There are talks among US politicians and economists about the country defaulting on its national debt. Congress usually approves raising the debt ceiling, so I don't see what's the issue here. But if somehow the US defaults, how would the crypto market react? Positively or negatively? The USD is the reserve currency of the world, so it's likely everything (stocks, crypto, etc) will crash alongside it.
What do you think? Is a US default good or bad for crypto in the short term? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Well, first thing first, i do not see any default coming to the US because they have a hell lot of money and assets and also Wealthy Patriots who can single-handedly deal with the debt problem currently the USA is facing. Now secondly, if we assume that those patriots are also out of money and US political leaders have no backup plan to deal with this situation which in reality they must have. There will be bad consequences for BTC and for the whole stock market too. Because the US is the main currency for all of the stablecoins and we have seen it recently what effect does their downtrend make on BTC? When the Silicon Valley Bank was bankrupted the value of Stable Coin USDC become more volatile which highly affected the market.What do you think? Is a US default good or bad for crypto in the short term? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Secondly, the good side of it was, the dominance of BTC was increasing because people need some place to hold their money where it can not lose its value. So, BTC is that place. It also was the main reason for the origin of BTC so that in the next banking crisis (financial Crisis) people have at least something to store their money to keep its value safe. And BTC will be used as one.
