OpEd: 2025’s Perfect Storm: Trump, Bitcoin, and the Inflation Apocalypse
As we head into 2025, it seems like we’re staring down the barrel of a perfect storm. The combination of factors is nothing short of catastrophic, and I’m not just talking about the impending doom predicted by doomsday preppers.
Firstly, let’s tackle the elephant in the room – Donald Trump’s return to power. Love him or hate him, one thing is certain: his economic policies will be a recipe for disaster. The man is hell-bent on running massive deficits, and that’s exactly what he’ll get with his plan to stimulate the global economy.
We’re talking about a deficit of around $1 trillion annually – yes, you read that right – TRILLION. That’s not just a number; it’s a catastrophic warning sign for anyone who cares about the value of their money. Unlike the bailouts in 2008, this time around, the money being thrown around is going to drive inflation until the system collapses.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “But Nicholas, what about the crypto market?” Well, let me tell you, my friend: Bitcoin’s bubble may be bursting at any moment. We could be looking at a medium-term top right now, with a potential fall of 70% or more from the current price. That means a drop to around $35,000 in 2025.
The reason for this bear market is simple – consumer spending needs a boost, and it’s not going to come from government stimulus alone. When governments print money, they’re essentially devaluing the currency, which has a direct impact on crypto prices. It’s like trying to hold water in your hands; eventually, gravity takes over.
But wait, there’s more! The global economy is already crippled by massive deficits and inflation, courtesy of Yellen and her buddies at the Federal Reserve. We’re looking at a staggering $40 trillion in debt by 2025 – that’s not just a number; it’s a ticking time bomb waiting to take out the entire system.
You see, I’m not here to preach about the virtues of gold or some other precious metal. No, sir! What I am trying to do is sound the alarm on the impending doom we’re facing. 2025 is shaping up to be a perfect storm – Trump’s stimulus, inflation, and debt are all combining forces to create an economic apocalypse.
War with Iran? Forget about it – McTrumper will take care of that in his own special way (read: by dropping bombs). The freshly created money would send crypto prices soaring, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
