Very interesting theory from Jason Lowery (is he on nostr ?) about the benefit-to-cost ratio of an attack:

Nature increased the cost of an attack by growing goads (in this case the cost of an attacker getting hurt) to decrease the benefit of an attack

#Bitcoin projected it into cyberspace with miners protecting the network by using energy to secure it. This increases the cost for an attacker who has to spend more energy than 50% of the network to compromise the network

At the end it would create an alternative chain that eventually gets rejected by other participants what would lead to a forked and worthless shitcoin

I watched his last few talks he gave. I think he now knows how to communicate his ideas way better then when he started.

It does resonate much more with me nowadays than a couple of months ago.

I think I get most of what he wants to say.

Not sure about what he has in mind when he says it will be used for more than just finance (i.e. Bitcoin).

I mean, he gives Nostr as an example. But Nostr works differently (from a tech perspective).

Yup i agree with you. I found it very hard to listen to his podcasts with Robert Breedlove caus it wasn't articulated so clear but this lecture was very clear and easy to understand such a huge difference so props to Jason Lowery

💯

He seems to be better at it when he does not have that much time 😄

Simpler, more to the point, easy to follow illustrations 👌

Cryptography used to be classified as a munition, and cryptographers charged as arms dealers. His job for the govt is to get us back to those days. Code is speech, we've already had this conversation. Dont drink the spooks kool aide.

He is pro Bitcoin so how would the govt do it ?
