An active-duty astronautical engineer in the United States Space Force is proposing a cybersecurity tool to the Pentagon that could transform the country’s national security and even the underlying architecture of the internet. The proposed tool is Bitcoin (BTC).
In an academic thesis, Major Jason Lowery, who is also a National Defense Fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), presented a new theory to the U.S. Department of Defense that Bitcoin is not just a peer-to-peer payment system, but a new form of “digital-age warfare.” He argues that proof-of-work technologies will change the way humans compete globally, according to a review of his book by Ben Schreckinger in Politico.
