There are moments in the history of any asset class that, in hindsight, everyone agrees were turning points. The problem is that most people do not recognize them as they happen.<\/p>\n

April 21, 2026, may be one of those moments.<\/p>\n

What a Four-Star Admiral Said About Bitcoin Under Oath<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Admiral Samuel Paparo, the Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee to discuss the FY2027 defence budget. It was a routine hearing by Washington standards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He spoke about Bitcoin the way military strategists speak about technologies that shape the balance of power \u2013 cryptography, decentralization, proof-of-work architecture. He was describing Bitcoin as infrastructure.<\/p>\n

That distinction matters enormously. When an asset transitions from being viewed as a financial instrument to being viewed as strategic infrastructure, the rules of the game change. Demand becomes less discretionary and more structural. Governments do not sell their strategic infrastructure when markets get volatile.<\/p>\n
