why people promote this idiot space boi?
He's an oddball but he's no idiot. He comes from a very unusual place for a bitcoiner and we should be glad he's there putting ideas in the military's heads about the usefulness of bitcoin.
I can doubt the effectiveness of his campaign but I can't argue with his logic about game theory. He must be right that govts will be forced to fight over bitcoin mining and eventually take on reserves in bitcoin. That seems completely unavoidable at this point.

I do not agree that we should be glad he is putting his ideas into the military's head. His high-level view of bitcoin is that it is a new type of weapon. Conflating Bitcoin with weaponry is a bad road to go down. Bitcoin brings Truth and therefore Peace, not war.

He's not the best spokesperson for bitcoin to the military et al. Softwar probably didn't need 400 pages or a book format in what could've been done more effectively as a single post on Substack, Stacker.News, Reddit, etc. All the same he built suspense for this release, and I support bitcoiners, so I'll get the book if it receives a PDF or Kindle treatment, reserving final judgement after reading it—he deserves that from everyone—but from what I've read of abstracts and his tweets, I need a higher-resolution writing effort and the killing of generalities with specificity from Softwar.

Seems to be important for a lot of people to have some promotors of big government on board... and I am fighting with any second of my life to push back against this gov usurpation
