🔥 Bitcoin community questions U.S. military understanding: general criticized for “reading Wikipedia”


On April 26, U.S. Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo said before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the government runs Bitcoin nodes, and he called Bitcoin a “combination of cryptography, blockchain, and proof of work.” Bitcoin educator Matthew Kratter criticized his remarks as if he were “reading Wikipedia,” questioning his understanding of the protocol. The Rage reporter Lola Leetz said the testimony was “nonsense.” Sam Lyman, research director at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, pointed out that Iran tends to use stablecoins rather than Bitcoin to pay oil transit fees because Bitcoin has no central issuer and cannot be frozen, which is a key advantage of strategic assets.
