TLDR; His thesis is only a thesis without a code proof of concept/implementation. Knowing what's bad is harder than stopping it. His thesis is interesting and makes sense, but I don't see it having a practical implementation that would not be better serve with just robust key management. Because Bi...

Clearly a smart fella who knows his history and understands systems. I suspect that what's left unsaid may be more important than what he says. Because all the things he says seem to be logically correct. I'm writing up some more detailed thoughts.

I need to listen to this podcast tonight. My thoughts on him so far is it's an interesting perspective. However, I hope more of the people get into Bitcoin first. When it comes to governments, I'm not sure I want them to own a lot or create a lot of Bitcoin. If the government of my homeland said the...

Having listened to Lowery and Saylor speak about similar topics it does sound like there is something here. To me it seems to be a way of dishing out real world consequences in a digital realm, Proof of work being the core. Danny's point about encryption is well taken but encryption costs nothing so...

Obviously he’s a hot topic. For good reason. I didn’t listen to your interview yet but I’m hoping to know why he’s so public with his thesis. What’s his ultimate goal, and why is being public in the way he’s doing it the best way to achieve it?

His shit is influencer fuel. Exhibit A

He does not distinguish between defense and offense. Normies will have a very hard time with that. I think that’s the main challenge in understanding him.

#SoftWar makes sense if you remove the statist jargon from it and look at it from a first principles, as in the fundamental fabric of the universe, point of view.

His thesis strikes me as having been reverse engineered. I think he had his conclusion first and then used all his intellectual capacity to amass analogies and correlative data in its support.

Nonsense.

I really liked your interview with him, so thank you for that. For me, something definitely „clicked“ finally at some point of the interview.

A genius and he should be listened to. He might have an overinflated ego and peculiar approach to marketing because of how young he is, but what he is marketing is not simply a thesis. From his point of view, he is making a desperate attempt to ensure his country does not fall behind in this new age...

He presents a very different point of view. And that's coming from having a "lense" of a soldier. If what he says is true (and it probably is, I just don't have enough knowledge about war) - then Bitcoin shouldn't be even discussed with the SEC or whoever is responsible for the monetary system. ...

Hope his thesis plays out.

Looking forward to the book. Interview was a good review, interesting to view it as a defensive wepon, goes back to code as weapons grade wepons but i fear inviting military minds to welcome bitcoin into the dark rooms where all our “national interest” are kept under a cloak of secrecy legal moa...

Country music stays at the top off the charts because the people who listen to it don't know how to download it for free

I agree. I am at war with fiat. Bitcoin is liberating people. It's a war of freedom vs control. It is THE war.

He talked in circles. You pushed him, but not as hard as you could have.

In the words of a friend, "he has only one point, and it's kind of silly"

I think you did a pretty good job trying to challenge him where you could. As with most people, it's sometimes hard to understand the specific question and always reverting back to their original perspective (thinking fast and slow will help understand that).I think the jump to other applications be...

Jason is saying the quiet part out loud. Not everyone will agree but certainly some in power do, meaning it is a de facto definition of Bitcoin. This is just one more network integrity test. Thanks for pressing hard to clarify the finer points of his case.

Valuable. Our software landscape was initially built for benevolent use. Then hacked. Patched since to questionable degrees. There is only one software that was built with a defense mechanism against 24/7/365 brute force attacks in the design. #Bitcoin. That is the bed rock, that’s where we can st...

Not sure. Seems like he glorifies war to some extent, which I don't agree with. Humans have taken control over nature in many aspects - for example we live in houses that shut out rain, snow, cold, heat, etc. - and this is a good thing. Shouldn't violence be on the list of undesirable nature things,...

Seems like a Bitcoin Maxi. I'd like to read his thesis some day.

How is anything he's selling relevant to everyday needs of bitcoin users?

Arrogant
