SOFTWAR: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin

Product Information

However, as informative and engaging as this book is, it may not be suitable for seasoned investors or those with a deeper understanding of cryptocurrencies. The content may come across as too basic for some, but it still serves as a great refresher for anyone looking to brush up on their cryptocurrency knowledge. However, if you’re already an experienced crypto investor, this book might not offer much new or advanced information.

The author, Matthew Kratter, has created an engaging guide that covers fundamental information about Bitcoin and how to protect your investment. Trust me, I benefited a lot from this knowledge, especially his YouTube channel “Bitcoin University”. ⭐ This is a physical print of a publicly available academic thesis written by Jason Lowery, an active-duty US Space Force astronautical engineer and US National Defense Fellow at MIT. Digital copies are available at MIT and Air University.I just finished Jason Lowery’s thesis… Wow. It honestly has impacted my view of the world and bitpower (aka bitcoin). This may be perfect for newcomers, but experienced investors seeking in-depth information on alternative cryptocurrencies may require additional resources. Although the book provides a wealth of knowledge, direct investment advice is not offered. Chapter 4 examines human power projection tactics and highlights the need for humans to evolve their own version of "antlers" to enable intraspecies physical power competition without fratricide or escalating nuclear tensions.

Additionally, the book is published independently, which may raise some concerns about the credibility of the information for some readers.He argues it helps us to start getting out of the mutual assured destruction trap of strategic nuclear weapons by providing an alternative for dispute resolution: hash wars, wars between computers. And he doesn’t name swarms of killer drones; these are remote ‘battles’ on a network. This should be required reading for military, policy makers, and certainly (or especially) for those in the Bitcoin community. This is not another echo chamber of what Bitcoin is doing for the world but rather an extremely articulate and objective analysis on its impact to humanity from a power projection (proof of work) perspective that connects our biological and technological evolution that got us where we are today. Essentially, Lowery posits that the proof-of-work system underlying Bitcoin transaction verification can be leveraged by military powers to impose restrictions on bad actors in a non-lethal through a steep amount of physical work in the form of crunching numbers.
