\nJason Lowery Appointed Special Assistant to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander, Bringing Bitcoin Strategic Expertise<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jason Lowery<\/a>, former Deputy Director of Technology & Innovation at the United States Space Force, and author of Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin, has announced his new role as Special Assistant to the Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a LinkedIn<\/a> update, he shared his Honor to receive the appointment, explaining that \u201cIn this new position, I will directly advise and report to the Combatant Commander on strategic priorities affecting the Department of Defense and the Indo-Pacific region.\u201d Lowery added, \u201cIt\u2019s a humbling responsibility during a critical time for our national security posture. I\u2019m grateful for the trust placed in me to support this level of leadership, and excited to contribute to the mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowery rose to Bitcoin fame as he made the case that Bitcoin is a new landscape of military technology and defense, where power is projected not via bullets, missiles or drones, but by commanding more hashing power, which governs Bitcoin\u2019s proof of work protocol. Those who control enough hashing power can guarantee the confirmation of their Bitcoin transactions, and in extreme cases, those who dominate the hash rate can interfere in the confirmation of their enemies\u2019 transactions. The thesis, which is best understood by reading Lowery\u2019s work, poses Bitcoin as a fundamental change in military technology, akin to the discovery and proliferation of gunpowder or aviation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement comes just days after Iran told FT they would specifically\u00a0accept Bitcoin for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>. While there have been no reports of the Bitcoin Toll of Hormuz becoming a reality yet, the story made international news and appears to have reached the halls of power in D.C. and the Department of War. While the Gulf states and the Strait of Hormuz fall under a different division of the DoW called CENTCOM, the timing of Lowery\u2019s appointment nevertheless demonstrates a recognition of Bitcoin\u2019s strategic value in geopolitics. He will be advising command over a wide region, including China, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean regions, many of which benefit tremendously from Gulf oil that passes through Hormuz. Some reports suggest China drew up 42% of its oil from affected Gulf states<\/a> before the war.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
