Jason Lowery’s thesis in Softwar posits that Bitcoin is a digital macro-technology for non-lethal power projection. It argues that Proof-of-Work represents a paradigm shift from software-based security to physics-based security. Human conflict historically relies on physical power to secure property and reach consensus. Bitcoin digitizes this process, allowing nations to compete for digital territory and secure data through the expenditure of mass and energy rather than kinetic violence. This transition moves the mechanism of human competition from lethal conflict to a decentralized, energy-intensive protocol. Sovereignty in this framework is derived from the ability to project power across the cyber domain via hashpower. Bitcoin functions as a global defense system that secures property rights through the laws of physics, rendering traditional cyber-security vulnerabilities obsolete by imposing a physical cost on digital interference. Adoption is framed as a national security imperative.
