## Resource

Today's episode explores one of the biggest long-term Bitcoin narratives yet: the emerging global Bitcoin arms race. We discuss why Senator Cynthia Lummis believes nation-state competition is beginning, how game theory could accelerate global Bitcoin adoption, and why Bitcoin's fixed supply creates a dynamic unlike gold, oil, or any previous strategic resource. We also review today's biggest Bitcoin headlines and explain why many believe governments may eventually compete for the same finite Bitcoin supply. 📺 Prefer video?
