Japan's FY2026 budget has just been announced: total expenditures of 122 trillion yen, tax revenue of 83 trillion yen, with the gap filled by issuing an additional 29.6 trillion yen in new public debt. Prime Minister Kishida used an interesting phrase—"responsibly and actively borrowing," which sounds good but essentially means the government is pulling out a new credit card to keep itself afloat.

Japan's current predicament is quite typical: aging population, continuous decline in consumer demand, and stubborn deflation. The government's only move is to expand public investment to stimulate the economy, but this approach has long been overused. The problem is that if the national debt continues to grow and interest rates rise, the financial reckoning will become unavoidable.

In simple terms, it's a vicious cycle: if revenue isn't enough, borrow; the more you borrow, the greater the interest burden; once interest rates go up, the entire debt structure faces risks. Japan's dilemma also indirectly reflects a certain commonality among global economies—slowing growth, debt accumulation, and squeezed policy space.

Japan's so-called "responsible borrowing" rhetoric sounds like it's just prolonging inflation. No wonder everyone is betting on BTC.

This tactic in Japan has truly reached the end of the line. Keep printing money and borrowing, and let's wait and see what happens with interest rates someday.

We're already tired of this routine in Japan. To put it simply, the debt snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, it still relies on inflation to dilute... At this point, you understand why everyone is stockpiling BTC.

This approach in Japan really can't last long. "Responsible borrowing" sounds good, but essentially it's unlimited QE... At this point, I actually have more confidence in the scarcity design of crypto assets.

Japan's trick of extending the life of credit cards will eventually lead to repayment, which is why we need BTC --- Another country starts printing money疯狂, no wonder institutions are hoarding Bitcoin --- "Responsibly taking on debt," in other words, responsibly going bankrupt --- The world is stuck in a debt swamp, and some people still ask me why I’m all in on crypto --- Today Japan, tomorrow Europe and America, I bet five ETH --- Really, after reading this budget proposal, I am more convinced that fiat currency won't last long --- Relying on public debt to fill the gap? Isn't that just pushing the problem back, and the final victims are retail investors --- Once interest rates rise, debt will explode. We might as well switch directly to digital assets

This set of tricks in Japan to extend debt and buy time will eventually have to be paid back. At this point, I am even more optimistic about on-chain assets.
