An active-duty United States Space Force astronautical engineer is proposing to the Pentagon a cybersecurity tool capable of transforming the country’s national security and even the base-layer architecture of the internet: (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 more than just a peer-to-peer payment system, but it is a new form of “digital-age warfare,” arguing that proof-of-work technologies will change the way humans compete globally, according to Ben Schreckinger’s review of the book in Politico.
