America’s Debt Crisis: Can Crypto Be the Solution?

Elon Musk and Senator Rand Paul are warning about unsustainable U.S. debt, which Musk attributes to excessive government spending. Meanwhile, the total crypto market has topped $3 trillion, boosted by bitcoin’s near-$90,000 price and dogecoin’s 36% increase, thanks in part to Musk’s influence. Trump has advocated utilizing bitcoin to pay down the national debt, as well as establishing a national bitcoin reserve. Musk’s proposal for a “Doge Department” to slash spending is gaining traction, boosting dogecoin’s appeal.
