By <\/em>Stephen McBride<\/em><\/a>, Chief Analyst at RiskHedge<\/em><\/p>\n Jeff Bezos said the question he got most was, \u201cWhat\u2019s going to change in the next 10\u00a0years?\u201d<\/p>\n Bezos built Amazon\u2019s (AMZN) trillion-dollar empire by answering the exact opposite question: What won\u2019t<\/em> change in the next 10 years? <\/strong>People will always want a great choice at great\u00a0prices.<\/p>\n For investors, thinking about what won\u2019t change is a shortcut to finding great moneymaking opportunities.<\/p>\n And the one thing I know for sure that\u2019s here to stay is Uncle Sam\u2019s spending\u00a0habits.<\/p>\n I had high hopes for Elon Musk\u2019s DOGE and the energy around getting Washington \u201cfit.\u201d<\/p>\n But the US government\u2019s spending plan for the next year\u200a\u2014\u200aaka the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d\u200a\u2014\u200ajust passed the Senate and has been signed into law by President Trump.<\/p>\n The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will add another $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the next 10\u00a0years.<\/strong><\/p>\n We can debate whether this is good, bad, or ugly another time. But we\u2019re investors. Our job is to make\u00a0money.<\/p>\n And if all this debt gets you down, I have good news. Here\u2019s the easiest way to make money from Uncle Sam\u2019s spending addiction\u2026<\/p>\n Every president, Republican and Democrat, in my lifetime (and yours) has added to America\u2019s national\u00a0debt:<\/p>\n Source: ABC\u00a0News<\/p>\n All the talk about cutting spending has been just that: talk. Politicians are incentivized to spend other people\u2019s money. And that won\u2019t change any time\u00a0soon.<\/p>\n People have been crying wolf about the US national debt for decades. Remember Henry Ross Perot and his charts back in\u00a01992?<\/p>\n Let me say something a little controversial. The amount of debt doesn\u2019t matter. Neither do deficits. What matters is how much you\u2019re paying out in interest to service that\u00a0debt.<\/p>\n Case in point: National debt tripled between 2008 and 2022 and yet interest payments barely\u00a0budged.<\/p>\n Source: Created by\u00a0ChatGPT<\/p>\n This right here is why all the doomers screaming about Uncle Sam going bankrupt were\u00a0wrong.<\/p>\n But as you know, the world of zero interest rates is over. Bad for homebuyers. Really<\/em> bad for Washington.<\/p>\n The US government now pays out roughly $3 billion in interest expenses per day. This year, for the first time ever, we\u2019ll spend more money servicing the national debt than on defense. Not the kind of records I like to see\u00a0broken.<\/p>\n Source: @CharlieBilello on\u00a0X<\/p>\n Interest payments doubled in just four years. At this pace, a third of all tax revenue could go just toward interest payments by the end of the\u00a0decade.<\/p>\n Friends, we\u2019ve hit what they call a \u201ctipping\u00a0point.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh, no. America is headed for bankruptcy. Sell everything and hide out in a bunker.\u201d<\/em> Please don\u2019t be this\u00a0guy.<\/p>\n America can\u2019t go broke because it controls the money printers. Let\u2019s again think about what won\u2019t change. Next time there\u2019s a crisis, politicians will turn the money printers on full\u00a0blast.<\/p>\n Wall Street has a fancy term for this: debasement.<\/p>\n And this is why you must own\u00a0assets.<\/p>\n Just like your morning coffee and grocery bill are priced in dollars, so too are stocks, crypto, and gold. When Uncle Sam prints money, it debases the value of the US\u00a0dollar.<\/p>\n USD down, assets\u00a0up.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re sitting in cash, debasement constantly eats away at your hard-earned savings, making them worth less each passing\u00a0year.<\/p>\n The government\u2019s own numbers show the dollar has lost 66% of its value over the past 40 years. A one-way trend if ever I saw\u00a0one.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s a massive tailwind for investors.<\/p>\n If you think US government debt is a problem and are concerned about debasement, buy stocks! But that\u2019s not\u00a0all\u2026<\/p>\n Buy assets that politicians can\u2019t\u00a0print.<\/p>\n They can\u2019t make gold out of thin\u00a0air.<\/p>\n This is why the yellow metal has jumped 25% since January and is on track for its best year since\u00a02010.<\/p>\n Gold has historically been the go-to hedge against currency debasement. I think everyone should own at least a little\u00a0gold.<\/p>\n But gold isn\u2019t helping you get ahead. It\u2019s just helping you not fall\u00a0behind.<\/p>\n My friend Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor, ran the numbers and found gold has basically been flat in \u201creal\u201d terms since 2009 when compared to how much money we\u2019ve\u00a0printed:<\/p>\n Source: @BittelJulien on\u00a0X<\/p>\n Crypto<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stocks\u200a\u2014\u200aespecially great disruptive businesses like we own in Disruption Investor<\/em>\u200a<\/a>\u2014\u200ahave kept pace with debasement and then\u00a0some.<\/p>\n But crypto has been the fastest horse in the race. Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong><\/a> is simply the greatest debasement hedge on the planet. It\u2019s soaked up all the printed money to become the best-performing asset in the history of the world over the past\u00a0decade.<\/p>\n Heck, even gold is down 99.99% compared to bitcoin since\u00a02012!<\/p>\n Financial guidance I\u2019d give to my\u00a0son:<\/p>\n First, you\u2019ve gotta own\u00a0stocks.<\/p>\n And son, please just own a little crypto. The great thing is that when you own an asset that can 10X or more in a year, you only have to own a little to make real\u00a0money.<\/p>\n In my Venture<\/em><\/a> <\/em>crypto advisory, we recommend our members hold 75% of their portfolio in Ethereum (ETH)<\/a> and Solana\u00a0(SOL)<\/a>.<\/p>\n We recommend they invest the rest in smaller coins with higher upside.
