Bond yield explosion gives Bitcoin a strong signal – is now finally Satoshi’s time?
The piece argues that sovereign borrowing pressures and AI-driven agent commerce could strengthen Bitcoin’s monetary role.

Competing options include stablecoins, cards and bank transfers, which may better suit dollar-priced services. The author says meaningful Bitcoin adoption would involve businesses and agents earning, holding, spending and pricing services in bitcoin—not merely converting funds briefly for payments.
