🧵 Legal thread of the week:
#Bitcoin Enters U.S. Military Strategy
1/6 🔹 Jason
#Lowery, author of Softwar, has been appointed Special Assistant to the Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM). He will directly advise the commander on strategic priorities for the Department of Defense in the Indo-Pacific region. 👇
2/6 🔹 Lowery previously served as Deputy Director of Technology & Innovation at the U.S. Space Force. In his 2023 thesis Softwar, he argues Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work is a new form of military technology. Controlling hash rate = power projection in cyberspace. 👇
3/6 🔹 Core idea:
#Bitcoin is electro-cyber power. Dominating hash rate lets nations secure their own transactions and potentially disrupt adversaries’. This thesis just entered one of America’s most critical combatant commands. 👇
4/6 🔹 Timing matters. Days prior, Iran said it would accept Bitcoin for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil chokepoint. INDOPACOM oversees China and Pacific routes dependent on that energy. Bitcoin is now on the national security map. 👇
5/6 🔹 What it means for Bitcoiners:
👉 Hash rate and network security are now strategic topics at senior DoD levels.
👉 A Bitcoin power-projection expert advises top command.
👉 Higher chance of policies treating Bitcoin mining, energy, and custody as national security issues.
👉 Potential for less regulatory hostility and stronger institutional backing long-term. 👇
6/6 🔹 A leading Bitcoin strategist now influences U.S. Indo-Pacific doctrine. Bitcoin is shifting from fringe money to recognized strategic infrastructure in great-power competition. Holders and miners: your asset is being seen through a military lens. Stay sovereign. 👇
🏛️ In today’s world, knowing
#Bitcoin law isn’t optional, it’s essential for staying free and safe.
