Maria asked a chilling question: is the war just an excuse to roll out digital currency?

Armstrong didn’t flinch. “Yes,” he said. “The system is not sustainable.”

Debt buyers are vanishing. Governments are drowning in obligations they can’t repay.

Historically, Armstrong explained, empires collapse the moment they can no longer sell new debt to cover the old. That’s why he believes the so-called “GENIUS Act” is a last-ditch attempt to reset the system—using CBDCs and stablecoins.

And for the crypto fans cheering this on?

“You’re the latest sucker,” he said. “Would you like to buy some swamp land in Florida to go with it?”

“They need to keep selling the debt,” Armstrong warned. “If nobody’s gonna buy the new debt, everything’s coming down.”

To him this war has nothing to do with land or politics.
