Connection thesis
Iran's Bitcoin-backed Hormuz strait insurance announcement (state-level crypto adoption for sanctions evasion) correlates with 'Iran war trigger next debt shock' narrative (335302). State actors moving to Bitcoin settlement signals both anticipated payment disruption AND geopolitical escalation near Hormuz. BTC benefits from dual adoption+geopolitical premium.
