It's no longer an admiral's comment in a briefing room.
It's now on the record. In Congress. From a sitting U.S. Representative.
"The U.S. military is using a Bitcoin node to enhance national security."
Congressman Lance Gooden. Official. Undeniable. Historic.
We covered this when Admiral Paparo let it slip.
Now a member of Congress just made it a matter of public record.
This is a different tier of confirmation.
Admirals run operations.
Congressmen write laws, control budgets, and answer to 700,000 constituents.
When one of them goes on record about Bitcoin and national security in the same sentence that's not a test anymore.
That's policy.
Think about what has happened in the last 7 days alone:
BlackRock stacked $900M in BTC.
The Pentagon confirmed running a Bitcoin node.
ABTC scaled to 89,000 mining machines.
Long-term holders absorbed 303,000 BTC.
BitMine quietly moved $233M into ETH.
And now a U.S. Congressman has put Bitcoin's role in national security on the official record.
This is not a bull run narrative.
This is a structural shift in how the most powerful nation on Earth treats a 15-year-old open-source protocol.
Bitcoin went from "rat poison" to national security infrastructure.
In one week.
