Major Jason Lowery Seeks White House Role to Create 'US Hash Force' for Bitcoin Mining as Cybersecurity Weapon
Nov 19, 2024, 12:09 PM
Major Jason Lowery is seeking a role in the White House to advocate for the integration of Bitcoin into U.S. national security strategies. His proposal includes the establishment of a 'US Hash Force,' which would focus on Bitcoin mining as a means to enhance cybersecurity and deter cyber threats. Lowery argues that Bitcoin's proof-of-work (PoW) technology could serve as a powerful tool for protecting critical data and strengthening national defense capabilities. This initiative comes amid reports of soldiers in Ukraine and Russia reportedly selling their weapons to purchase Bitcoin, highlighting the cryptocurrency's growing significance in conflict zones.
