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

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.
