Be Honest- who hopes the USA defaults so BTC skyrockets?

YES let the USA go bust so a handful of you fucks who have 10 coins can make a few thousand. You are assholes!

Congrats you captured the very essence of the Bitcoin Community.

i'd like to point out that Amerika has no intentions of paying off the national debt. They'll just keep on raising the debt ceiling until the end of time. See you in the quadrillions!

Ya, no nation is going to pay off their national debt and every nation has one (which should be enough to make people ponder things a little bit but does not seem to be...)  Anyone who proposes paying down the national debt, or even arresting it's growth, is either lying to your face or is clueless about how modern monetary systems work.

As for the debt ceiling in the US, it's actually a pretty clever scam.  Both political parties have basically the same desires because they are owned by basically the same entities.  But they each have separate shticks that they use to herd their respective flocks of sheep.  The debt ceiling negotiations (among other constructs) are the way they 'agree' to pay off their sponsors without making their flocks to suspicious.  It's pretty funny to watch.

Maybe, you don't know that.

That's a surprisingly naive opinion for somebody who has a masked guy with a gun as an avatar.

The USA and other fiat debt laden countries will default or collapse at some point so they might as well do it now. I would like to see this madness come to an end in my lifetime. I realize it won't be pretty, but hey - who said going cold turkey would be fun? It is however, the right thing to do. Perpetuating the mistakes of the past, passing the hot potato and kicking the can again and again is not the solution. Of course, this is exactly what will happen so enjoy living the dream while it lasts.

Yeah debt settlements never happen and the world should totally use ethical standards out of this Ayan Rand novel.
