Bitcoin's Role in Power and Warfare

Lucas and Grant of “Bitcoin Study Sessions” join me to explore how humans project power through abstraction, how Bitcoin projects physical power, modern warfare and kinetic stalemate, proof-of-work and cybersecurity, Tesla and Ford’s prediction of eclectic money, and the tipping point for Bitcoin nation-state adoption.

Lucas and Grant of “Bitcoin Study Sessions” research and teach about canonical Bitcoin literature like Jason Lowery’s “SoftWar” and “Broken Money” by Lyn Alden.
