Translation:

A weak economy leads to political instability

Political instability, in turn, gives rise to corrupt politicians who deliberately seek war

The question is: what will the United States’ decision to impose tariffs on the entire world ultimately lead to?

Suddenly I realized—why hasn’t global capitalism collapsed already?

Oh right, because the world has a big-spending working class that can print its own money… the United States

We put in hard work and convert our labor into Bitcoin

But some individuals or companies don’t do any work or create any value — they just borrow money from others to buy Bitcoin for themselves

These people don’t truly appreciate the value of Bitcoin, yet they are still praised by many in the Bitcoin community

They are nothing more than scammers

What the United States may actually want is to reduce its own demand—as well as global demand—in order to inflict long-term economic damage on the world’s largest supplier, China, potentially causing prolonged stagnation similar to what once happened to Japan

In the Prisoner’s Dilemma, where the warden has a vested interest, the worst outcome for the warden is when the two prisoners cooperate with each other.

Trump’s shift in stance last night was likely due to his assessment that both prisoners were leaning toward not confessing—and possibly even uniting against the warden.

To counter this, the warden’s strategy would be to sow distrust between the two prisoners, pushing them back toward a position where each is ready to betray the other.

This led to a softening of stance toward the more compliant prisoner, while increasing pressure or penalties on the more defiant one.

If Trump’s calculations are correct, the defiant prisoner will begin to doubt whether the other prisoner might betray him and side with the warden. Meanwhile, the more compliant prisoner, feeling encouraged, may be more willing to confess and play along with the warden’s game.

This would ultimately lead back to a Nash equilibrium.

Perhaps the game Trump was playing wasn’t the ‘Chicken Game,’ but rather the ‘Prisoner’s Dilemma,’ with America acting as the prison warden who designed the game itself.

If the Nash equilibrium is that both prisoners (China vs. other countries) end up ‘confessing’ or accepting the punishment (like tariffs) that the warden (America) imposes, then the true winner is the warden—America—while the rest of the world loses, as they turn on each other to minimize individual losses.

Because in the Chicken Game, the equilibrium outcome—where one side yields—would be too risky for America

The dark irony is that Trump sees the soft power that the U.S. has been cultivating since the Cold War (as a means to maintain its global leadership) as nothing more than other countries taking advantage of America

If the U.S. destroys this key strength, the most valuable credit, by embracing a kind of capitalism that makes every country think only of itself, then from now on, the world will begin to focus on self-protection, believing that the global leader, America, can no longer be relied upon.

And one day, if someone like Hitler were to rise again, we would inevitably enter a new apocalyptic era

“What Trump is attempting to do is to reverse the process of capitalism”

The Made in America policy is not new; it has existed in the past within the American capitalist system. However, the inherent tensions of capitalism—stemming from labor exploitation—led to an adaptation in which the U.S. outsourced these conflicts to less developed countries with cheaper labor, transforming itself into the world’s dominant capitalist power.

Bringing production back to domestic labor could potentially reignite conflicts in ways we have not encountered since capitalism established itself as the foundation of the global order.

It feels like America under Trump is playing a game of "chicken" with other countries.

The U.S. knows that its biggest strength is being the world's largest consumer market, meaning other countries benefit from selling their goods to America. Trump leverages this by threatening to reduce purchases (through tariffs) to pressure these countries into making concessions that benefit the U.S.

If the targeted country gives in, the issue is resolved. But if not, it turns into a game of chicken—two drivers heading toward a collision, where the one who flinches first loses, and the other gets everything they want.

However, this strategy carries risks for the U.S. as well. Reduced access to cheap foreign goods could lead to uncontrolled inflation, making life harder for American consumers.

To mitigate this risk, the U.S. engages in these trade battles one at a time rather than confronting multiple countries simultaneously. If at any point the cost outweighs the benefits, the game is paused.

For other countries, the best survival strategy is to stay off America’s radar for as long as possible, hoping that once the U.S. gets what it wants, it will stop.

This leads to speculation about which countries will be targeted first. The likeliest candidates are those with a moderate trade surplus with the U.S. since countries with the highest surpluses pose a greater risk of making the U.S. the "chicken" in this game, while those with small surpluses wouldn't engage at all. As a result, these mid-tier surplus countries are the most vulnerable, as their stakes are too high to afford a loss

“Bitcoin is a tool affirming the ideal that human physical and intellectual efforts are not relative but absolute, enduring over time and not subject to erosion merely for the preservation of status for a select few.
