 I read Nuclear War a couple weeks ago. It’s not for the faint of heart.

I’ve also read Soft War three times. I continue to dissect parts of it.

Put these two books together with the fact that the hash rate is at an all-time high, and I can’t help but think that we’re at the beginning of a hash/Bitcoin arms race already. We may not know for a couple years, but if the hash rate continues to increase above current market rewards, I think Jason‘s thesis becomes more real and the threat of nuclear war starts to decrease. For the reader, if you have not read the book/thesis Soft War by Jason Lowry, this may not make sense.

Biggest positive? I think Putin is the adult in the room and will achieve their goal of liberation and stop. (Sad but true)

Biggest negative? The leaders in the west and the elites in the US continue to try to stoke war. Everywhere.

What can we do? Move as much of your life to a bitcoin standard as you possibly can. It’s an ongoing journey.
