$25B Blown in 12 Days: Iran-Israel Conflict Burns Through 1% of Bitcoin’s Total Supply

Warfare just got a crypto-sized price tag. The recent Iran-Israel clash torched $25 billion in just under two weeks—enough to buy up 1% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist. Talk about inflationary spending.

Defense budgets meet digital scarcity

While governments print money to fund conflicts, Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million coins looks more prescient than ever. That $25 billion could've acquired 210,000 BTC at current prices—a position that'd make any hedge fund manager weep into their balance sheet.

The ultimate HODL test

Imagine explaining to Satoshi that nation-states now burn through Bitcoin-equivalent wealth faster than early miners lost their hard drive passwords. At least those coins stayed in circulation—this $25 billion just vaporized into geopolitical entropy.

Next time someone says crypto is volatile, show them the receipts from modern warfare. Traditional finance might lecture about 'sound money' while writing blank checks for missiles—but the blockchain doesn't lie about where value really goes up in smoke.
