Bitcoin Magazine has published a new interview, “Dr. Pippa Malmgren: Investing in Bitcoin in the Age of Abundance,” featuring Dr. Pippa Malmgren, a former White House economic advisor and founder of the Geopolitica Institute.
Malmgren argues that the US–Greenland security deal is not really about ice or minerals, but about the space race. She explains why missile tracking and satellite ground stations make the Arctic strategically critical, and why Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands are next. The conversation then connects geopolitics to markets, moving from US debt to China's selling of US Treasuries to the future of Bitcoin. The full arc runs from security geography through debt and AI policy to the future of money itself, a scope reflected in how the chapters are sequenced.
