The next superpower nation will be the one that accumulates the most Bitcoin

When nations control the supply of money in a fiat system, they get to choose how that money is used, which historically has been for wars and expansion of influence. However, in a Bitcoin Standard system, the direction of power will be determined by those with the most wealth (i.e. most Bitcoin)

However, it would make perfect sense to me that whichever nation accumulates the most Bitcoin before or during the incoming adoption supply shock will have the most wealth to use for expanding their realm of influence. I foresee this rebalancing of superpowers happening once as the Bitcoin Standard is fully implemented, before it ends up getting redistributed through spending.

After this rebalancing and the circular economy takes root, Bitcoin will eventually find its way back into the hands of the people, and it will be exponentially more difficult to fund a war when you must draw money from the citizens of the nation. If the citizens do not agree with the intentions of the war, they will refuse to contribute to it.
