Jason Lowery

In this lively discussion, Jason Lowery, an MIT security expert, delves into the nuances of Proof of Work and Proof of Stake protocols. He explores the critical role of property rights and how power dynamics shape these systems. Jason explains the concepts of abstract versus physical power, shedding light on their implications in blockchain technology. He also addresses the risks of centralization in PoS, and offers insights on the thought processes of key figures like Vitalik Buterin. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper understanding of these mechanisms among policymakers.

Jason Lowery from the US Space Force joins me for a multi-episode series exploring the first principles of physics, the ubiquity of organic power projection, and how Bitcoin changes the game.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTJason's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JasonPLoweryPODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 Projecting Power to Maintain Property Rights00:06:51 Property, Territory, and Trust00:14:34 Evolution of Power Projection Through Law00:17:45 Evolution of Protecting Property00:21:55 The Oldest and Most Proven Economic Theory00:28:01 The Development of Militaries00:36:50 NYDIG00:37:57 Relations with Power Projectors00:42:17 State Military vs Militias00:46:44 Incentivizing Cooperation and Disincentivizing Betrayal00:54:10 People Want to Own the Property with the Best Protection00:58:18 The Costs Associated with Defense01:03:12 Clever Ways Power is Projected Over Time01:08:13 Evolution of WarfareSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
