🇺🇸 Throwback that keeps resurfacing: Wyoming's Cynthia Lummis once floated a wild geopolitical scenario — a superpower buying spree, but for $BTC instead of missiles. Her pitch: if Washington starts stacking sats, Beijing and Moscow won't sit still. They'll start accumulating too, out of fear of falling behind — turning Bitcoin into the new front line of great-power rivalry instead of hardware. Context matters here: this comment is from January 2025, not new. It keeps getting reposted without a date, making it look like breaking news when it's really a year-and-a-half-old talking point tied to her push for a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (the "BITCOIN Act," proposing the Treasury accumulate ~1M BTC). Since then, she's kept building the same thesis — including claims last year that parts of the US military leadership view a BTC reserve as a hedge in the broader economic standoff with China. Whether or not a real "sovereign accumulation race" ever plays out, the underlying idea is worth tracking: Bitcoin increasingly gets talked about in DC not as a speculative asset, but as a geostrategic one. Old quote, evergreen debate. Worth knowing the timeline before treating it as fresh news. 📡 #PayrollsDropCPIFocus #AIMemoryStressTest #SpaceXUnlockRebound $BTC Source: Senator Cynthia Lummis, Bankless podcast (Jan 2025); follow-up remarks to Bloomberg TV (June 2025)
