US debt affect on Mt Gox account balance

[Teal Deer]

I'm from Australia, and trade in USD on Gox for obvious reasons.

I was wondering, when the debt situation inevitably hits the fan and the value of USD possibly plummets, what should I do? Will that happen? Should I exchange money now?

What will happen to the USD in the future, and when could it happen?

u.s. can not go bankrupt. it will just print/create more $. the gov. shutdown is just some political opera/drama play. it will not hit any fan. you should be more concerned about gox staying liquid.

USD can enter to hyper-inflation. But it's not too likely, if the debt ceiling isn't raised I would move the money of USD...

Don't think the USD is going to get hit too hard, but still BTC may be a better investment, if you've got money on the exchange, wait for a dip and buy in

If you hold BTC in your account instead of USD, you won't be affected by a fall in the value of USD.

Just hold Bitcoin & gold and not USD and your will be safe.
