Concerns behind US economic data warrant attention. There is a clear discrepancy between official statistics and the actual situation—household debt has surpassed $18 trillion. The industry has even seen large-scale bankruptcy cases, with a well-known company insolvent, holding only $2 million in cash but burdened with $1 billion in debt.

What is more worrying is that the plight of the lower social strata is worsening. According to the latest data, the homeless population in the US has risen to 771,480, an increase of 18% year-on-year, reaching a record high. Among them, over 150,000 are children affected. These figures reflect that economic pressure is being transmitted to ordinary families, and the wealth gap continues to widen.

Against this macro backdrop, the attractiveness of traditional financial assets may further weaken, and such structural changes often alter market participants' asset allocation strategies.

180 trillion in debt, 770,000 homeless... These numbers are truly outrageous, it feels like the official figures and reality are from two completely different worlds. Honestly, clinging to traditional assets at this point is probably going to lead to losses. The wealthy have already diversified into other assets, while ordinary people are still being exploited. 150,000 homeless children? Now that's a real systemic crisis. Once the debt avalanche starts, no one can remain unaffected. So, it's time to consider alternatives, or else you'll just be waiting to be harvested.

180 trillion in debt, 770,000 homeless... These numbers are so outrageous I don't even want to look at them twice. To put it simply, the US economy is just a face-saving project, with data being manipulated, while the underlying issues are ignored. Still clinging to US bonds and traditional assets? Wake up, everyone. Risk reassessment should begin now. Over 150,000 homeless children? That's the most heartbreaking part—the economic crisis hits the most vulnerable first. 10 million in debt with 2 million in cash... Just go bankrupt directly, why struggle? It's time to shift to a different asset allocation strategy; the traditional approach is truly unreliable.

All false prosperity, the debt bomb ticking away Once this data comes out, I knew traditional finance was going to crash 18 trillion in household debt? Laughing out loud, who still believes in official GDP growth Underlying defaults, this is the real signal of an economic crisis Homelessness hits a new high... the American Dream is just like that Still buying US stocks? Hurry up and check your holdings It was long overdue to allocate BTC, really Basically, it's the night before asset reallocation; if you have no position, you'll be eliminated A billion in debt and two million in cash, how does this company survive? It's absurd It seems not everyone is suited to play in the financial markets
