He told Cointelegraph:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable=\"true\"><p>\u201cThe recent news of the US national debt reaching the record high of $35 trillion highlights growing concerns around the sustainability of traditional fiat currencies.

The analysts explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable=\"true\"><p>\u201cA lot of the current US national debt arises due to inflation, loss of value in the currency against other currencies, and the ease with which any government can print as much money as it wants. Bitcoin can rightly be called one of the only true hard currencies because it\u2019s protected against inflation to a large degree, has a limited supply, is durable due to its digital nature and is increasingly available.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-ct-non-breakable=\"true\"><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Bitcoin, gold on track to break out as \u2018macro summer\u2019 begins \u2014 Analyst<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[embedded content]<em>Top 7 Crypto Announcements Trump Makes at Bitcoin 2024.
