π’ Bulls Say
The convergence of AI-driven defaults, systemic private credit stress, and geopolitical instability will force central banks into massive money printing, solidifying Bitcoin's role as the premier scarce, non-sovereign hedge.
π΄ Bears Say
A broad credit crisis will trigger a deleveraging across all risk assets, including Bitcoin. Government intervention may stabilize traditional markets without directly benefiting crypto in the short term.
