The Sovereign Stack: China vs U.S. in the Digital Power Struggle

Who controls the future of money, identity, and communication? In this episode of The Disruptive Technologies Podcast, we explore the emerging battle between China and the United States to control the digital stack—value, identity, compute, applications, and governance.

China is building a seamless, state-controlled system. The U.S. is fragmented, corporatized, but still offers exits—through crypto, decentralized identity, and open-source tools.

We compare both models layer by layer, expose the risks of centralized control, and explore why the Sovereign Stack is the most important infrastructure of the 21st century.
