🚨 PUTIN JUST WEAPONIZED BITCOIN AS A PEACE OFFER 🚨
While the world was celebrating Christmas, Vladimir Putin dropped a geopolitical bombshell that could redefine the future of both crypto and global sovereignty.
THE EXPLOSIVE CLAIM:
On December 24, 2024, Putin reportedly told Russian business leaders that Washington proposed a shocking deal: Joint control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP)—not just for energy, but for large-scale Bitcoin mining.
THE REALITY CHECK:
The Power Grid: ZNPP has lost external power 12 times since 2022. All six reactors are currently in cold shutdown.
The Safety Risk: IAEA Director Rafael Grossi warns a restart is currently "impossible" due to a lack of cooling water and stable power [1, 2].
The Russian Move: Despite safety warnings, Russia licensed Reactor 1 on December 23, signaling a push for operational status [2].
WHY THIS MATTERS:
This isn't an energy deal; it’s a sovereignty trap. Putin is testing whether the incoming U.S. administration's pro-crypto stance can be used to legitimize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian infrastructure.
THE TIMING:
This claim surfaced exactly as President Zelenskyy met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on December 24 to discuss a 20-point peace framework [2, 5]. Zaporizhzhia remains one of the three most contentious unresolved points in those negotiations.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
U.S. Recognition: If Washington acknowledges "energy discussions" regarding ZNPP, it marks a massive policy shift.
Zelenskyy’s Stance: Any concession on the plant is a major sovereignty breach.
The Precedent: If an occupied nuclear plant is monetized for BTC, it sets a chilling civilizational precedent.
Is this a legitimate peace path or a digital Trojan horse?
