I agree completely. While the US argues over 'abortion' and 'bathrooms' and 'the culture wars'....

China's rapidly catching up, both technologically and in terms of innovation. DeepSeek is an incredible example of this.

But they are also producing their own phones, chips, electronics, EVs, and also solar panels that are almost as good as those in the US for way, way less cost.

And you know who doesn't even know about it? Americans. Their news sources never even report it. It's all "the culture wars" or "the border" or "movies TV and entertainment..."

The BRICS? Vast majority of Americans never heard of it. And their politicians? Never mention it. Despite how much it's growing and catching up to the G7.

I still believe that, eventually, Bitcoin will be a major tradable global asset that nations use for trade or collateral... despite whatever (or in addition to) whatever the Chinese are cooking up.
