America's debt machine is running hot—and the numbers are wild.

Over the past year, the national debt clock has been ticking up by nearly $71,000 every single second. That's not a typo. Do the math and you're looking at more than $6 billion piled on daily.

What's fueling this? Three big culprits: interest payments are eating up more of the budget, deficit spending shows no signs of slowing down, and tax revenues aren't keeping pace.

For those watching macro trends, this kind of fiscal trajectory usually spells one thing—currency devaluation pressure. And when fiat starts looking shaky, hard assets and decentralized alternatives tend to get a second look from investors hedging against uncertainty.
