## Resource

Admiral Paparo—the US military’s leading Pacific commander—just told Congress that his forces are running a live Bitcoin node. This isn’t investing. This is America using Bitcoin as defense infrastructure against China.DC deciphers what was really said, why it matters, and how this pivots Bitcoin toward permanent US strategic power. Forget Wall Street adoption—this is on a whole new level. Watch for the implications to your crypto, safety, and the global financial game.
