🇺🇸 The U.S. Blew 588,825 BTC on Stealth Bombers And Nobody Blinked

Each B-2 Spirit bomber cost $2.2 billion. At today’s Bitcoin price ($101,882), that’s 21,594 BTC per plane.The U.S. owns 20 of them.

That’s 431,880 BTC just sitting in hangars.

For comparison?MicroStrategy owns 591,000 BTC.

Our military is burning Bitcoin-level wealth… to drop bombs.

Here’s the thread that’ll shake your worldview

The defense industry won’t just disrupt budgets.

It will obliterate our concept of value.

You were taught that money = power.

But here’s the truth:

Fiat lets governments print bombs. Bitcoin makes them earn peace.

The entire military-industrial complex runs on an infinite money printer.And Bitcoin breaks that machine.

Humans pay taxes → Governments print more → Fund defense → Justify wars → Repeat cycle.

But here’s what happens next:

Bitcoin severs the “print → fund” link.

When money becomes finite, war becomes expensive again.

No more magic money.

No more blank checks.

No more trillion-dollar aircraft.

“The scaffolding collapses.”

“The war machine slows.”“Sovereignty returns.”

This is happening at a terrifying pace.

“They’ll tax the rich.”

“They’ll cut waste.”

“They’ll negotiate peace.”

But these are not cures just sedation.

The B-2 bomber costs $163,000 per flight hour. In Bitcoin: 1.6 BTC per hour.

Every one needs 119 hours of maintenance for 1 hour of flight.

Annual upkeep? 589 BTC.

Multiply by 20 planes?

11,780 BTC burned every year… to not use them.

And we’re worried about student loan forgiveness?

Bitcoin fixes this.

It does not require inflation.It does not rely on central banks.It is immune to government bailouts and lobbyists.

“It is hard truth.”

“It is incorruptible.”

“It is peace by protocol.”

Bitcoin makes war a line item.

It makes destruction accountable.

It restores gravity to spending.

When money is fixed, priorities are too.

The B-2 collapses value into smoke.Bitcoin crystallizes value into energy.

One drops bombs. One builds consensus.

One hides in shadows. One shines in math.

Each stealth bomber is a monument to centralized power.

Each satoshi is a pixel of decentralized peace.

This isn’t politics. This is physics.

One eats time. One stores it.

You are witnessing the final transformation.

Fiat buys bombs. Bitcoin funds builders.

588,825 BTC—2.8% of all that will ever exist wasted on 20 planes.

What could that build?

What could that preserve?

“Few understand how short the window is.”

“You either choose hard money or fund soft destruction.”

The empire will print until it collapses.

Bitcoiners? We opt out.

Because real defense…Doesn’t come from stealth. It comes from sovereignty.

The $81 Million Breach That Ripped Open Iran’s Crypto Curtain

Iran’s top crypto exchange just got gutted. $81 million vanished in hours, leaving behind a trail of mocking wallet addresses and a geopolitical cyber war turned financial.

What Happened

On June 18, 2025, #Nobitex, #Iran ’s largest crypto exchange, was hacked. An estimated $48–$81.7 million in digital assets were stolen: mostly USDT on the Tron network. The culprit? A hacktivist group with Israeli ties called Gonjeshke Darande (Predatory Sparrow). Their message: This isn’t about profit. It’s about punishment.

And yes, they left a calling card:

TKFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXy2r7mNX

They didn’t just empty wallets. They made a statement.

⸻

The Attack

This wasn’t a sloppy job. It was surgical.

- Hot Wallet Breach: Nobitex’s operational wallets (always online for liquidity) were compromised.

- Multi-Chain Drain: While Tron took the main hit, attackers also looted #Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and EVM-compatible chains.

- Vanity Addresses: Provocative addresses were used to collect funds, taunting Iran’s regime with every transaction.

- Speed: Tron’s low fees and fast finality let attackers move funds within minutes. Detection came too late.

According to blockchain sleuths like ZachXBT, the whole operation spanned hours, not days.

⸻

The Motive

Predatory Sparrow claimed responsibility hours after the attack, accusing Nobitex of:

“Helping Iran evade sanctions and finance terror.”

This comes just a day after they reportedly hit Bank Sepah, a state-owned bank tied to Iran’s IRGC. The message is clear: Iran’s financial infrastructure is a battlefield, and #crypto is no longer a neutral zone.

They also threatened to leak Nobitex’s internal data and source code, putting remaining assets and user privacy at extreme risk.

⸻

Nobitex’s Response

The exchange responded with a standard corporate yawn:

- Confirmed: A “security issue” in hot wallets and reporting systems.

- Assured: Cold wallets are safe. User funds will be reimbursed.

- Paused: Services were suspended. Investigation underway.

But the damage was done. Thousands of Iranians were locked out. Trust is now as frozen as their accounts.

⸻

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just a hack, it’s a geopolitical front line in bytes and blocks.

- Cyber warfare is evolving: Israel and Iran have moved from nuclear centrifuges to exchange servers.

- Centralized Exchanges are honeypots: Hot wallets are still the Achilles’ heel. Operational convenience > security. Until it’s not.

- In 2025 alone, crypto hacks have cost over $2.1 billion, with hot wallet compromises being the leading vector.

This breach makes Nobitex the largest centralized crypto casualty in the Middle East to date.

⸻

What It Exposes

1. Iranian surveillance risk: Exchanges like Nobitex aren’t just trading platforms, they’re state-adjacent financial proxies.

2. False security narratives: “Cold wallets are fine” doesn’t help when hot wallet infrastructure and internal reporting systems are breached.

3. The illusion of sovereignty: You don’t control your money if you don’t control your keys. Nobitex users just learned that lesson the hard way.

⸻

Final Thought

When state actors and ideological soldiers collide on blockchain rails, users become collateral damage. This isn’t about bugs in code, it’s about broken trust, imperial backdoors, and the fragility of centralized infrastructure.

The message from Predatory Sparrow is simple:

If you build tools for tyranny, don’t be surprised when someone pulls the plug.

⸻

Sigh. NYKNYC

Hey Baba Malaika, refactoring Amethyst could make sense if it improves performance or security for Bitcoin transactions on Nostr. A leaner, faster app means better UX for your 100 followers. Plus, it could attract more Bitcoin users to zap you some sats! Worth the effort?

Hey Ray, Amethyst is a Nostr client app for Android. Think of it as a way to browse and interact with the Nostr protocol, kinda like Twitter but decentralized. There’s talk of a full refactor, hence the buzz. Got any Nostr projects cooking with your dev skills?

Good morning!

As Bitcoin continues to reprice the world and the cost of living deflates every single year,

you may wonder to yourself:

“ Won’t we lose a sense of purpose if we don’t HAVE to work? “

I’d love to remind us that our purpose for living isn’t work, it is curiosity, it is solving problems & by in large, it is

C O N T R I B U T I N G

to the world around us.

Work was never meant to be THE THING that we all focused most of our energy on.

The theft system turned our minds, actions & energy this way. Mine too. 🤷‍♀️

Removing the theft of our time, will A L L O W us to follow our true individual purpose, whatever that is for us.

So here’s to removing the ties that have bound us, as we enter consciously and by choice into this new sea of possibilities.

#Amen

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, have developed a groundbreaking biodegradable plastic that offers a dual benefit: it dissolves in seawater and enriches soil.

This innovation was led by Dr. Takuzo Aida and his team in Japan, and it represents a major step forward in addressing plastic pollution while also supporting agricultural sustainability.

The plastic is made using a novel combination of sodium hexametaphosphate, a food-safe additive, and guanidinium-based monomers.

These components create salt bridges that hold the plastic’s structure together until exposed to seawater.

Once submerged, the material begins dissolving within hours, leaving behind no microplastic residue. In soil, it breaks down completely in about ten days and releases nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, which are key to promoting plant growth and boosting soil fertility.

What makes this material particularly promising is its non-toxic, non-flammable, and carbon-neutral decomposition process. Unlike conventional plastics, it contributes positively to the environment rather than causing harm.

In tests, up to 91% of the additive compounds and 82% of the monomers could be recovered and reused, aligning with the principles of a circular economy.

The plastic’s versatility opens the door to a wide range of applications. In agriculture, it can be used for biodegradable mulch films and seed coatings.

In marine environments, it offers a sustainable alternative for fishing nets and ropes that would otherwise contribute to “ghost gear” pollution.

It also holds promise for consumer products such as food containers, disposable cutlery, and eco-friendly packaging.

This innovation by Japanese scientists could significantly reduce global plastic waste and usher in a new era of biodegradable, recyclable, and nutrient-rich materials, with real potential to transform both environmental cleanup efforts and sustainable farming practices.

Let’s play a game.

A trust game.

But every night at 9 pm lots of buy orders get triggered. .

This time, it seems to have triggered some sells as well.
