Geopolitical Strategist: Bitcoin Is the “Third Way” Between the Dollar and Yuan

Velina Tchakarova, geopolitical strategist and founder of FACE (For A Conscious Experience), argues that we’re in a new Cold War and that the US and China are building two rival financial architectures. On one side, the US is defending dollar supremacy with stablecoins. On the other, China and Russia are rolling out state-controlled digital currencies like the digital yuan and digital ruble. She explains why Bitcoin is a decentralized “third way” that serves as a bridge between these two worlds, and why it may come under growing pressure from state actors as the global system splits.
