Chat GPT's summary of #SOFTWAR is pretty solid:

Bitcoin's "proof-of-work" function has the potential to be a strategically important national security technology for the US in the digital age. However, the American public lacks the necessary understanding of the complexity of proof-of-work, modern power projection tactics, the function of militaries, and warfighting. This lack of understanding could jeopardize US national strategic security as the future of US national strategic security hinges upon cybersecurity. Bitcoin has demonstrated that "proof-of-work" functions as a new type of cyber security system. Nations are beginning to recognize the potentially substantial strategic benefits of Bitcoin, and the US could lose its strategically vital power projection technology lead to its competitors if it does not consider stockpiling strategic Bitcoin reserves. If the US policymakers continue to categorize Bitcoin as "cryptocurrency" and allow institutions with conflicts of interest to claim to be experts in proof-of-work technology, they could compromise US national strategic security. The primary function of militaries is to protect and defend access to international thoroughfares, including cyberspace. Until Bitcoin, nations have not had an effective way to physically secure their ability to freely exchange bits of information across cyberspace without resorting to lethal power. Bitcoin can provide nations with the technology to impose severe physical costs on belligerent actors trying to access or interfere with valuable bits of information. The adoption of Bitcoin could represent a new type of cold war, a cyber space race. The US needs to recognize the potential benefits of Bitcoin and encourage its adoption to maintain its global power dominance.
