U.S. Space Force Major Seeks Advisory Role On National Security And Technology

According to Odaily, Major Jason Lowery of the United States Space Force has applied for a position as a military advisor to the National Security Council (NSC) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Lowery announced his application on the X platform, expressing his desire to guide senior defense leaders on the implications of Proof of Work (PoW) for national security. He emphasized the importance of understanding the role of PoW technology in defense and encouraged support for his perspective. Lowery is well-known for his thesis on 'software warfare,' where he advocates for viewing Bitcoin's PoW mechanism as a transformative tool for defense and cybersecurity. He argues that PoW technology can serve as a non-kinetic defense system, projecting power in cyberspace by imposing physical costs on digital actions. His insights suggest that integrating PoW into national defense strategies could enhance the United States' ability to manage cyber threats effectively.
