I think Trump SV MAGA’s strategy will be to weaponize instability with a crypto wrapper. They’ll offer bastard financial instruments—part cryptocurrency, part sovereign debt—designed for maximum leverage. These won’t be sold on merit but forced onto pension funds and sovereign wealth managers across Europe and South Asia. It will work like this: Create an impossible-to-value derivative that’s essentially radioactive waste with a AAA rating sticker slapped on it. Then, instead of promoting it, they’ll wield it as a threat. “Nice retirement system you’ve got there. Shame if something happened to it.” The implied warning: buy our crypto-treasury bastardizations, or watch your currency get hammered and your trade deals collapse.

On one hand, the blast radius of this thing will vaporize the savings of millions of retirees from Bangalore to Brussels, making the 2008 subprime crisis look like a warmup act. The forced adoption of crypto-sovereign hybrids will inject radioactive debt into pension funds and sovereign wealth portfolios, setting up a slow-motion detonation that could ripple through global markets. On the other hand, the resistance won’t be a direct fight—it’ll be a waiting game. Entrenched financial systems have seen this play before. Instead of confronting it head-on, they’ll just let it burn itself out. Bureaucratic inertia, slow-moving regulations, and institutional skepticism will drag the rollout into the mud, ensuring that by the time these instruments implode, the damage—while catastrophic—won’t be evenly distributed. The result? A financial collapse engineered by leverage and hubris, met with a passive-aggressive shrug from those who saw it coming but chose to survive it rather than stop it.
