His work challenges conventional views on Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong>, proposing that its Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism could serve as a powerful cybersecurity tool, vital for national defense.<\/p>\n

Lowery\u2019s research goes beyond viewing Bitcoin as merely a decentralized payment system. He introduces the concept of \u201cPower Projection Theory,\u201d suggesting that Bitcoin\u2019s PoW could act as a form of \u201celectro-cyber power projection.\u201d This would involve using Bitcoin\u2019s hashing power to secure critical information and deter cyberattacks by making such attacks prohibitively expensive for adversaries.<\/p>\n

His proposal to create a \u201cUS Hash Force\u201d aimed at enhancing the country\u2019s cybersecurity has garnered attention from military and political leaders. In addition to his theoretical framework, Lowery has called on the Pentagon to recognize Bitcoin\u2019s strategic value, particularly its potential for securing data and strengthening the nation\u2019s digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n
