Will private credit crisis cause Bitcoin to crash?

Not directly—Bitcoin's not a credit instrument. But private credit stress signals broader financial fragility, which triggers risk-off selling and forces use traders to liquidate. The contagion is psychological and technical, not fundamental.

Is the Fed going to print money again?

Eventually, yes. With a $1.9 trillion deficit projection, they have no choice. The timing is uncertain, but the direction isn't. Bitcoin's long-term case gets stronger every time the deficit grows.

Should I buy Bitcoin at $66K if a recession hits?

If you believe in monetary debasement as a concept, yes. If you think the economy will recover normally with tight money, no. This isn't investment advice—it's forcing you to think about what you actually believe.
