Bitcoin Study Sessions: Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin Chapter 3 - Power Projection Tactics in Nature Join Grant and me as we walk through the third chapter of Jason Lowery's case for bitcoin as a power projection technology - one... that the administration of Donald J. Trump & JD Vance should immediately push to adopt by the US as a strategic defense imperative. A recently introduced bill by Senator Cynthia Lummis would do just that, selling gold certificates to buy 1 million bitcoin over the next five years. Today's conversation tries to answer... What do a single cell organism and car roof have in common? Is the violence and destruction of evolution horrific and grotesque...or beautiful and poetic? Are sociopaths the fairest of us all? Should Cormac McCarthy be in the discussion for "Who is Satoshi?" ...and more. Feedback & questions encouraged & appreciated. We will monitor these posts and engage to raise the level of discourse surrounding this topic. Our next discussion will cover Chapter 4 and the convicting "Power Projection Tactics in Human Society". Enjoy!show more

@JasonPLowery grimes with the tl;dr

@JasonPLowery @thewholeframe I’m going to give these a listen. I need someone to explain this book to me

The battlefield for military superiority keeps moving to higher levels… Land. Sea. Air. Space. Now cyberspace. War is a kinetic energy competition for scarce resources. Bitcoin mining is a kinetic energy competion for the only absolutely scarce resource to ever exist. It may be logical to thus conclude adoption of bitcoin as strategic stockpile - will serve a country well in kinetic energy competitions in cyberspace. :) But definitely read it. It’s well-done, easy to digest, and has pictures :)

@JasonPLowery @thewholeframe Enjoyed the commentary, gentlemen. 🙌🏻

@JasonPLowery @thewholeframe Are these study sessions available on youtube?

@thewholeframe @JasonPLowery Power projection is living. Willing power over space and time defines life.

@thewholeframe @JasonPLowery Excited to dive in with extra time around the holidays. Thanks for making it happen before Thanksgiving.

@thewholeframe @JasonPLowery this is great!!!

@thewholeframe @JasonPLowery Intelligent discussions are very rare. Thank you for sharing.

Reading this chapter again… I think it’s super important to establish the definition of property in a way that identifies or if there is a controlling force over that mass. My question is: can something anything with mass or matter be defined as property if there is not something willing some type of/or total control or power over it? Calming property must be directly proportional to its owner’s absolute control of power over that thing. Intern there is no definite guarantee or right to control over any mass nor does any one thing have a direct claim or right to control mass. It seems we are in a constant state of trade-off. Trading controlled energy for power projection over mass or resources. This exercise results in the acting entity, accumulating more or Losing control of more Watts. In effect, experiencing a net loss in energy.

This is an important point, and the distinction Maj. Lowerey made also gave me pause step back and think. My thoughts: Without ownership - without projecting power to ensure the continued access and control over mass/matter - what is property? We lay claim and defend the claim. Sans power projection which overwhelms attempts to undermine the claim, mass and matter still HAVE properties, but property they are not. Saylor refers to bitcoin as the highest form of property rights, and there is brilliance in that. We can lose our property by losing access to it - losing keys. But there is only one way it can leave our possession - if we give it to someone else by relinquishing keys. There is no other form of property so protected. Houses, cars, bank accounts, gold, guns - these can all be seized, taken, stolen by those with power in an abstract hierarchy. Nature can take them, through disaster. Time can take them, through decay. Bitcoin has leveled that hierarchy and re-introduced a timeless lesson: Bitcoin is power. No one can take your power. Only you can give it. Therefore, I would state that not only can mass/matter not be property without ownership...bitcoin represents the most true form of ownership which exists.
