US Department of Defense places Bitcoin Softwar thesis under security review, rockets price to $300

Author: Content Editor
Jason Lowery's book 'Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin' is undergoing a security and policy review by the Department of Defense (DoD). The review raises questions about the government's relationship with national security protocols and suggests that the DoD fears other nations adopting the theories presented in the book, potentially reducing US dominance in the field. Lowery, a US Space Force officer and research fellow at MIT, explores the concept of Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism as a form of cyber power projection in the book. The retroactive review by the DoD indicates concerns about sensitive information impacting national security or revealing protected insights. As a result, the availability of the book has been limited, physical copies have become scarce and prices have increased. The book's official distribution is uncertain until the DoD's assessment is concluded. Lowery's thesis is praised for its innovative perspective on integrating Bitcoin into national defense strategies and its potential to reshape geopolitical power structures.
