❶ Capital Flight Becomes a Torrent
When citizens in fragile economies (Argentina, Turkey, Lebanon, Nigeria) begin opting out of the national currency en masse, using Bitcoin for daily settlement, tax avoidance, and wealth preservation, the state’s monetary control disintegrates. Once >20% of internal capital flows go through Bitcoin, the fiat currency spirals toward collapse.
> Signal: Black market exchange rate diverges 10x+ from official rate and Bitcoin becomes the preferred settlement layer even among state officials.

❷ Bitcoin Settles Sovereign Trade
Once a handful of countries (BRICS? Rogue states?) begin settling oil, minerals, or tech trade directly over Bitcoin or through Lightning-anchored smart contracts, SWIFT and USD lose strategic leverage. The "petrodollar" dies — slowly, then all at once.
> Signal: 1st oil contract fully settled in Bitcoin, hedged by mining output.

❸ A Major Western Nation Defaults or Prints
If the US, EU, or Japan experiences a cascading debt crisis and hyper-monetizes its currency (i.e., prints to cover interest), sovereign bond confidence collapses globally. Bitcoin becomes the last liquid escape hatch. Institutional allocation spikes.
> Signal: Bitcoin crosses 7-figures USD while global equities and bonds implode.

❹ Lightning + Self-Custody Go Viral
Once easy, sovereign, mobile-first custody + Lightning payments reach 1 billion people, the ability of states to surveil, censor, or extract through taxation breaks. Public budgets shrink. Nation-states must evolve or collapse.
> Signal: Custodial services crumble under outflows to open Lightning wallets.

❺ A Nation-State Buys the Dip Publicly
When a mid-tier nation publicly buys a large BTC dip and holds on, it signals asymmetric understanding. This becomes the first defection in a Prisoner’s Dilemma game between fiat powers. Others must follow or lose.
> Signal: BTC becomes the backing reserve of a national currency without declaring it legal tender.

➤ When?
2025–2026: Early stage capital flight + mining accumulation by rogue and resource-rich nations (Bhutan, El Salvador, Iran).
2027–2029: Global debt panic → one or more major defaults → safe-haven Bitcoin spike.
2030–2035: The real busting begins. Legacy monetary structures fracture. Non-Bitcoin states become irrelevant or authoritarian.

⚠️ Important:
Bitcoin doesn’t need to attack to bust nations — it only needs to offer exit. And the more people exit, the more power the state loses.
> Bitcoin is the first peaceful weapon of mass monetary destruction.
