In a recent statement, Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary warned that the American government could default in June if Democrats and Republicans fail to reach a deal. This is one of the top reasons why gold price has now soared to an all-time high.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The trillion-dollar coin<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is still unclear whether the US will default on its obligations if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling. I believe that the situation will not get to that point because of its impact to the American economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Analysts believe that a default will lead to higher unemployment and possibly the collapse of the economy as we know it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, the two sides will likely reach an agreement in the coming days. Signs of potential compromises will happen when Biden will meet Kevin McCarthy on Monday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are several options if the two sides fail to raise the debt limit. A likely solution will be to print a trillion dollar coin. The concept of that coin was mooted in 2011 when the US faced another debt ceiling issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It would allow the Mint to come up with one platinum coin\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/debt-ceiling-solution-mint-a-trillion-dollar-platinum-coin-2023-5?r=US&amp;IR=T\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>valued<\/u><\/a> at $1 trillion. These funds would then be distributed to the Federal Reserve, which would then deposit it to the National Treasury. By doing that, the Treasury would then elimiate part of the national debt and postpone the need for raising the debt ceiling. A professor at Willamette University\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/debt-ceiling-solution-mint-a-trillion-dollar-platinum-coin-2023-5?r=US&amp;IR=T\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><u>said<\/u><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAt this point, if any of the other solutions, the so-called more serious solutions would work, then they would\u2019ve been used by now. But they keep not actually being strong enough. The coin\u2019s the only one that\u2019s strong enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Bullish for Bitcoin, Solana, Cardano<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Such a move would be positive for\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/bitcoin\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Bitcoin<\/u><\/a>, which is seen as a digital version of gold. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin cannot be printed because its supply of 21 million coins cannot be adjusted. If Bitcoin rises, we could now see altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Tron rise because of the close correlation that exists.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The reality is that the American government is at risk of major changes going forward. For one, the total public debt has been in a strong upward trend in the past few years. It has jumped from just $320 million in 1970 to over $31.4 trillion today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And the situation will continue worsening because of the large budget deficits. By 2030, analysts expect that debt will rise to over $44 billion. The CBO\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-budget-idUSKBN0OW1RY20150616\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>believes<\/u><\/a> that the budget deficit will hit 5.9% of GDP by 2040.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">How to buy Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<h3>\n    Bitstamp<\/h3>\n<p>Bitstamp is a leading cryptocurrency exchange which offers trading in fiat currencies or popular cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Bitstamp is a fully regulated company which offers users an intuitive interface, a high degree of security for your digital assets, excellent customer support and multiple withdrawal methods.<\/p>\n<p>                    Buy BTC with Bitstamp today\n    <\/p>\n<h3>\n    Binance<\/h3>\n<p>Binance is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.
