 the book is amazing 🧡 
 I've wanted to read it...I figured it would provide an interesting and unique perspective. 
 You can at least listen to the first half:

Until I finish reading the other half. 
 Thanks. I will do this. 
 I hope you enjoy it. It's a great read 🫡 
 it is so logic and reasonable and it make a convincing argument for wold peace .  
 I read a lot of it and the basic premise is that in the natural world “might is right” and you can’t fake it. In cyberspace everything was based on rules enforced by logic until bitcoin came along and imposed a physical cost for interactions. It’s more than just PoW though obviously because with bitcoin you have a whole system engineered around it (difficulty adjustment, finite supply, etc) that imposes further costs. Spend your bitcoin chasing a honeypot? It’s gone. GG.

Honestly his talk in the MIT lecture hall and his interview with McCormick covers most of it. He speaks in vague ideas probably because it’s not smart to divulge true military advantages if he has them and/or trying to get them.
