The United States military is running a Bitcoin node.
Read that again.
Not a hedge fund. Not a tech startup. Not a sovereign wealth fund.
The most powerful military in human history just plugged into the Bitcoin network.

"We're doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol."
Let that sentence detonate for a second.
The Pentagon isn't studying Bitcoin.
They're running it. Testing it. Integrating it.
