Description
TL;DR: A master's thesis proposing that Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism can be analyzed as physical power projection in cyberspace, not only as money.
About This Document
Jason P. Lowery argues that standard financial and economic frameworks may be too narrow for evaluating Bitcoin's national-strategic significance. The thesis develops an alternative analogy between physical power competition and proof-of-work computation, then explores implications for security, defense, policy, and state adoption. It was submitted to MIT's System Design and Management Program in February 2023 and is presented as a novel theoretical framework.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
The work is directly about Bitcoin, but its national-security thesis is the author's argument, not official U.S. military policy or an established consensus. Its value lies in the scale and specificity of the reframing: readers can examine the evidence, analogies, and policy implications in the original 401-page form instead of relying on slogans built around the title.
