\n

the secretary of defense literally confirmed the US is running classified efforts to secure Bitcoin dominance over China and called himself a \u201clong and enthusiastic\u201d supporter. <\/p>\n

Aaand just like that pentagon is openly stacking sats for national security. the same institution that used to arrest miners is now running black ops to accumulate Bitcoin. it\u2019s like watching the Viltrumites blend into society in Invincible except it\u2019s the military and they\u2019re not hiding it.<\/p>\n

but crypto confidence is at an all-time low. people are bleeding money on polymarket, DeFi\u2019s collapsing, and retail is terrified. <\/p>\n

so the government wants Bitcoin as strategic assets while users just watch their bags get liquidated. this is what the endgame looks like. institutions fighting for Bitcoin while retail gets wiped out in the middle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
