I've been diving deep into Jason Lowerys Softwar thesis again and it's one of the most mind blowing things about Bitcoin.
Power projection is a fundamental activity in all living beings, even singular cell organisms. You can't not play the game of power projection.
We use physical power to project power on land, air, sea and space. Now as humanity is mapping out more and more cyberspace, Bitcoin has introduced a way to project physical power in cyberspace through proof of work.
That's an incredible innovation, because it potentially allows us to move more and more disputes into cyberspace and avoid kinetic war.
