I don't see them pivoting to btc any time soon. They are pushing the ust rates back down by bying them to reduce capital flight

Dont they buy other bonds?

Why dont they just by their own instead of the us?

This is precisely the trap: the ECB has to buy up the new debt of the eurozone countries that are essentially insolvent, thereby pushing interest rates ever lower, while without intervention interest rates in the United States would have continued to rise. this interest rate spread is the mother of all problems for the eurozone, which is losing massive amounts of capital.
