I built a debt clock website inspired by https://www.usdebtclock.org to explore some of the US Treasury APIs and learn more about Supabase - also to spend some more time working with data since I mostly do front-end work.

It's very basic now with a couple bitcoin stats as well, and after digging into these APIs it's really amazing how much data usdebtclock.org has to offer. The API is not very easy to work with. I hope to add some more data soon though.

code is here: https://github.com/neb-b/debtclock

Easy, just premine many Bitcoin forks, dump on the users then pay the debt.

this is cool, but what does bitcoin have to do with us debt?

As US debt continues to spiral, I believe the likelihood of bitcoin overtaking the dollar as global reserve currency increases.

i see. i'll bet you that it doesn't on this website: https://longbets.org/

Thanks for sharing the link. I like that the bet winnings are donated to charities.

I have no interest to bet with you.
