I don't think people are prepared for professional power projectors (militaries) to enter the game of physical energy transfer in cyberspace using Bitcoin.

It's not a means to co-opt the system. It's how it will be used to its fullest potential and secured to infinity—but used and secured by whom? Civilians need to learn about Softwar to keep up and not get blindsided and overtaken when narratives about digital gold and electronic cash fall short in describing alternative use cases in physical security. When calling a control signal a payment won't cut it.

You think inscription spam is bad until a warring nation will DDOS the chain with 50,000 sat/vbyte fees to cut off their adversary's ability to control their digital military systems.

Sounds like it would be a good time for miners as they'll earn plenty of fees. Proof of work is built to handle that, yeah, maybe some transactions will take days to confirm, but lightning is better for instant transactions anyway.

I think the more likely scenario is the military using physical force, which is a real problem, but in the cyber front, they have very little chance to actually affect us in my opinion.

The thesis of softwar is about using Bitcoin to transmit physical energy through cyberspace. What people call violence typically refers to kinetic power—guns, missiles, etc.

But the thesis goes into detail about how Bitcoin is NON-kinetic power, being sourced from electrical watts rather than mass-based watts. What we don't know are the implications of this insight, but it's something the US military is taking seriously. And the point I want to make is, what if they discover a valid softwar use-case that will be incomprehensible to anyone who thinks Bitcoin is only money?
