A theory is proposed that Bitcoin could be used as a geopolitical weapon to collapse the Chinese economy. If Chinese investors heavily adopt Bitcoin to bypass capital controls, a coordinated "rug pull" or massive short could wipe out significant wealth. The current cryptocurrency craze is compared to the dot-com bubble, with warnings that even intelligent investors are losing their judgment.
