@BitcoinRachy People in Dubai trying to sell gold to get out were offered firesale prices. Gold is not as liquid as people think. Especially when in a stressed situation. Bitcoin, instant liquidity at spot.

My friend tells me that he would rather own gold than Bitcoin because it’s “tangible”. How do you respond to that?

@ronsterd89 Ran - Akira Kurosawa’s King Lear set in medieval Japan. Incredible film.

What's a little known movie that you love and most people haven't seen?

@SimplyBitcoin DOD had him take this book out of print and stop discussing his thesis in public. They take it that seriously.

Remember when the US Department of Defense banned this Bitcoin book back in 2023?

@LSaillans @JasonPLowery Audiobook of SoftWar is on YouTube.

His book has been banned by the Us governement in 2023. A US Space Force officer wrote a thesis at MIT arguing Bitcoin is a weapons system. The Pentagon ordered him to take it down. The book is called SOFTWAR, written by Major Jason Lowery. I managed to get my hands on an original, pre-takedown version. Here are the ideas that apparently made the DoD nervous: → Bitcoin is not a financial technology, it's a weapons system. It is an electro-cyber power projection system, in the same category as armies, navies, and air forces, but for the domain of cyberspace. → The "Power Projection Theory" framework Every military branch exists to secure a domain by imposing severe physical costs on anyone who threatens it. Armies secure land, navies secure sea, air forces secure the sky. Bitcoin, Lowery argues, does this for cyberspace. It imposes real physical cost (energy/watts) on attackers, which no prior cybersecurity system could do. → Every military branch secures a domain by making attacks physically costly. Bitcoin does exactly this for cyberspace, imposing real energy costs on attackers for the first time in history. → Lowery draws on 5,000 years of history to argue that any system based purely on trust and rules eventually gets captured by bad actors. Physical cost is the only reliable constraint. → He calls this new paradigm "softwar": non-lethal, machine-vs-machine energy competition in cyberspace. Tesla predicted something like it in 1900. → His most striking claim: a soft, electro-cyber WW III war may have already started. World leaders do not recognise it because they are expecting the next war to look like the last one. Five concrete policy recommendations for the US government: 1. Stop letting economists set Bitcoin policy. 2. Treat Bitcoin as a cybersecurity asset first. 3. Consider strategic Bitcoin reserves. 4. Protect proof-of-work under the Second Amendment. 5. Recognise that proof-of-stake is a centralised fraud, not a viable alternative. Because the nations that figure this out first will have an asymmetric advantage over those that do not. The book was pulled in July 2023 by DoD. Physical copies now sell for over $300. @JasonPLowery

@LSaillans @JasonPLowery He defined Bitcoin as a defensive weapon. It protects treasure. With level 2 or above it also protects anything put on it. DOD ordered the book to be taken out of print and for Major Lowery to stop speaking in public. Nothing speaks louder to the importance of his work.

When was the last time you bought physical music?

@BitcoinRachy Why would I exchange the most valuable asset ever conceived for anything of lesser value?

Have you ever used bitcoin to pay for something at a merchant?

@Marlayna29 When you hear about Bitcoin, go all in and never sell.

If you could go back in time, what financial lesson would you teach your younger self?

@Matt_Pinner Ha ha A hell of a lot of work!

What’s the first word that comes to mind?

@Vivek4real_ Look into Major Jason Lowery: SoftWar. Bitcoin is the answer to ultimate cyber security. It is emerging as the most valuable asset ever conceived.

@MustangMan_TX Pump is correct. You gave them a pump. Sometimes two on the banana seat and a third on the bars.

I can’t remember!

@Wade_Burleson @honeymoon250 Nixon made USD a fiat currency. Suddenly they could print unlimited money. You exchange your precious and limited time and energy for something another man prints for free.
