He writes like he is trying to hard with all that word salad.
If the US doesn’t accumulate bitcoin reserves it will lose power dominance.
Adding words to make his thesis longer 😂

I find it funny that plebs have no trouble reading Saife's tomes but choke on Lowery whom they have never read because well the thesis cost too much or was too long.
He goes into details at a genius level.
I never finished Saifs book to be honest. I just don’t like Lowery’s marketing tactics or his framing or what I have read of his. I know some ppl swear by him but he isn’t my cup of tea. Long list id rather read.
Both are great writers! And you are great readers regardless of finishing their books or not!
I never finished bitcoin standard either. I already knew what bitcoin was when I started it, once I got through the whole history of money part (stuff I didn’t know) I found no use reading the bitcoin part.
Lowery’s thesis is different. He doesn’t even start from square 1. He fails to explain why nation states are going to adopt bitcoin in the first place. Nations won’t start hashing for the sake of hashing. They incentive - if they don’t believe bitcoin is good money, they won’t mine. Thus, the prerequisite for nation state mining is first having the nation itself or a heavy majority of its people adopt bitcoin. Which I’ve never heard him explain.
