you’re saying that congress will just raise the debt ceiling and nothing will happen?

so can I short federal bonds? If come this fall and government fucks up they won't be able to pay their bonds?

I’m “shorting” the fucked up u.s. economy by investing in silver and cryptos (mainly BTC and ETH, $100 in each of the smaller ones)

>>1855551
but idk about actually shorting federal bonds. i have no experience with that.

A quick google search brings up this investopedia page:

Ceiling will be raised without much fuss and the higher interest rate is mostly priced in already so nothing significant will happen.
