This hit hard in the best way. It’s wild how the story blends old trauma with future tech so naturally like, a grandmother’s memories of Soviet boots and a granddaughter mining blocks to defend sovereignty. The idea of decentralization becoming not just economic resistance but national defense? That’s chilling, and somehow totally believable.

What stuck with me most wasn’t even the hardware or the strategy it was the people. Ordinary citizens turning stoves, car batteries, even churches into parts of a living, breathing defense grid. No guns, no flags, just math and willpower. Honestly, it made me wonder if we’ve been underestimating what Bitcoin and proof-of-work could mean this whole time.
