TD₿: The Hidden Agenda: How Bitcoin Became a Tool for Political Power! - (a Suppy Shock video) with Cory Klippsten
TL;DR: Bitcoin may have just survived its biggest threat—the U.S. government. But the fight isn’t over. Why Bitcoin is the Nash equilibrium of money and why we must entrench before 2028.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we break down how Bitcoin has emerged stronger from Washington’s regulatory battles, while the broader crypto industry faces uncertainty.
POTUS Trump’s team appears to support Bitcoin indirectly, with key allies involved, but without official endorsement—giving him plausible deniability. The recent political shift was driven by crypto lobbying, not organic support, which raises the risk of future backlash if power swings back.
The goal now is to embed Bitcoin so deeply into government and finance that no future administration can stop it. Bitcoin’s neutrality makes it the Nash equilibrium—it's the one monetary network all sides can agree on, even enemies. That makes it the most likely foundation for global settlement in a fractured world.

GameStop to Raise $1.3B via Convertible Notes to Buy Bitcoin, Mirroring Saylor’s Strategy
GameStop announced plans to raise up to $1.3 billion through convertible senior notes, aiming to buy Bitcoin and support general corporate purposes. This move mirrors MicroStrategy's well-known Bitcoin-buying strategy using debt. The notes will pay 0% interest, can convert to GameStop stock, and are set to mature in April 2030.
Despite already holding $4.7 billion in cash, GameStop is tapping debt markets to potentially boost its Bitcoin holdings. The announcement follows a recent policy update allowing Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset and comes after CEO Ryan Cohen’s public appearance with MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor.
