 One doesn’t. This whole idea that bitcoin is a weapon (which was walked back by lowry) is nonsense. An honest decentralized ledger is not  ‘power projection’ that will take your enemies down. Watch the TFTC podcast with Jason, he couldn’t come up with one example of how bitcoin’s hashrate secures anything other than bitcoin. He claims that somehow putting info behind a bitcoin paywall is revolutionary. Very skeptical about the whole thing. Lopp has a good article responding to his thesis.
