Trump's $3.3 TRILLION spending bill just passed
Everyone's screaming "Bitcoin to the moon"
But they're missing the REAL story
Short-term euphoria → long-term DISASTER
Here's the timeline + 5 altcoins to watch🧵👇

Yesterday, the US House passed Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”
Retail investors are excited - what's next?
Most people see just one thing: money printing and a Bitcoin pump
But it's not that simple. There’s more to the story

The legislation entails:
An increase of $3.3 trillion in national debt
$5.1 trillion in tax reductions
Elimination of spending limits across multiple areas

The same script we saw in 2021:
Government spending → budget deficit → increased bond issuance → Fed steps in → liquidity floods the system
This fuels a short-term market rally & investor euphoria
But inevitably, inflation rises, rates are hiked & deficits worsen

Growing budget deficit
Gov spends more than it earns → deficit
• To fill the gap, it sells more treasuries
• More spending = more demand = short-term economic boost
• Short-term bullish for $BTC, nothing long-term

Higher inflation leads to:
Deficit → more money → higher inflation
Fed responds by raising interest rates
But markets rally before inflation hits

Surging goverment spendings:
This is wildly positive for crypto markets
Why? It injects momentum into the economy, even if temporarily
More government contracts = more business activity = job creation
Bitcoin and the broader crypto space are set to thrive

Diminished recession odds
Sure, the market looks bubbly, but this legislation meaningfully lowers the risk of a downturn
Increased cash flow boosts wages and fuels consumer demand
It’s a short-term win for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market

Ultimately, there are 2 possible outcomes:
In the short run, it’s a positive catalyst for $BTC
Over the long haul, the outlook turns negative
1) Short-term (1,5-2 years)
• Increased government spending boosts overall demand
• Accelerated GDP growth
• Reduced chance of recession
• Expansionary monetary policy
• Rising business confidence
• Job creation through new government contracts and infrastructure projects

Because of this, Bitcoin will probably hit new ATHs, and a global bull market will start
It will be similar to 2021, when they cut interest rates and pumped money into the markets
Now, they’re not printing money directly, but new money is still entering the economy

2) Long term (2-3 years)
• More national debt means bond yields will go up
• Businesses and people will face higher interest rates
• The government will spend more to pay interest on its debt
• Inflation could become bigger
• The economy might slow down under this pressure
In this period, expect a deep bear market
The Fed will probably raise rates again, which will be the turning point
Economic growth will slow a lot, causing people to pull money out of risky assets like $BTC, $ETH & $SOL

My plan hasn’t changed: hold for 6 more months, then exit
I’ll keep an eye on Trump’s next economic moves and adjust if needed
Stay strong, everyone - we’re on the edge of something big for $BTC
