Odaily News: Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, stated that the US debt could reach $55 trillion to $60 trillion over the next 10 years. If the fiscal path remains unchanged, a full-blown debt crisis could occur within about 3 years, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 years.
Ray Dalio recommends investors allocate 10% to 15% of their funds to gold, along with a small allocation to Bitcoin, while reducing exposure to debt assets such as bonds. He noted that non-government-issued currencies like gold and Bitcoin may perform relatively well.
According to data from the US Treasury Department, as of the end of the business day on August 18, the total public debt balance stood at $40.05 trillion, surpassing $40 trillion for the first time.
On August 19, the US Treasury announced an expansion of its long-term liquidity support repurchase program, increasing the maximum single repurchase size for certain 10-year to 30-year securities from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The measures take effect from September 9 to November 4. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Galaxy's head of research posted on X platform, stating that even with a relatively high probability of Sybil nodes, the peak share of BIP-110 nodes is only about 20% of the entire network. He said it is quite ridiculous to see people like Mechanic so shocked that BIP-110 did not pass; even if this roughly 20% is counted, its hash rate share is still far from sufficient — the hash rate scale is very small, with node share at only about one-fifth, still a long way from the target.
Odaily News: Cathie Wood recently posted on X discussing the comparison between CRCL and Visa and Mastercard, stating: "Despite CRCL (Circle) rising 84% since its IPO, this one-year chart fully reflects the short-term inefficiency of public equity markets. Many financial services analysts have built their professional reputations by tracking V (Visa) and MA (Mastercard) over the long term, which is why they cannot understand Circle as a disruptor. Since MA and V went public in 2006 and 2008 respectively, both have risen approximately 150-fold and 33-fold, making those analysts who recommended buying on dips back then extremely profitable. However, today, it is the underlying technology—not the playbook these analysts follow—that is disrupting the traditional world order. CRCL should be a core beneficiary of this transformation."
