Excited to share that I’ve accepted a new role as Special Assistant and direct advisor to the Commander of United States Indo-Pacific Command. USINDOPACOM is the nation’s pacing theater—home to 60% of the world’s population, encompassing 70% of the operational U.S. Joint Force, and confronting 4 of the 5 most consequential military threats to the United States. I'm very grateful for the trust placed in me and honored to contribute alongside an exceptional joint, interagency, and allied team—supporting the projection of national power and achieving peace through strength across ALL domains.

In hindsight, the counterbalance to the threat of AI will be obviously Bitcoin. Here's the billion dollar answer that nobody seems to understand yet: AI agent hackers = the inevitable end state of infinitely collapsing marginal cost of computation. Systems that are capable of outsmarting & exploiting any human-made cyber defense system that attemps to use conditional, permissioned-based logic alone. Bitcoin = the world's chosen proof-of-work protocol. Want to defeat an AI agent hacker? you can't rely on conditional logic alone. you have to introduce something into the equation that AI can't defeat: brute-force physical limitations. AI's Achilles heal is computational cost, and it just so happens that the world has adopted a proof-of-computational-work protocol where we treat the electro-mechanical cost of computing as a tradeable digital asset that can be used as a form of restrictive collateral: it's called Bitcoin. Understand this, and you understand the fundamentals about how Bitcoin will become the thing that ALL computing systems rely on to defend them against the threat of AI. "digital gold" barely even scratches the surface of the importance of Bitcoin in 2030 and beyond.

a proof of work is a self-referential digital artifact. it is information which represents the computing cost to produced itself. this is a subtle but revolutionary concept in computer science because: all other information IGNORES the computing costs required to produce it. we know these costs exists, but we ignore them. that is, we know that it takes electricity and silicon to produce information, like the words in this tweet that are appearing on your screen. however, we don't think much about it. we treat it as an incidental cost, we don't track its origin & chain of custody, and we strive to minimize it. proof of work is the opposite. the information being portrayed in a proof of work IS the computing cost required to produce it. we rigorously track its origin and chain of custody, and we increase that cost parabolically. In other words, THE COMPUTING COST REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A PROOF OF WORK IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION AND VALUE OF PROOF OF WORK.

GM. #Bitcoin represents a new paradigm of warfare that will disrupt 10,000 yrs of balance-of-power dynamics, and our country is asleep. Hope you have a nice day. #bitcoin #jasonplowery

The fact that all Mathematics is Symbolic Logic is one of the greatest discoveries of our age; and when this fact has been established, the remainder of the principles of mathematics consists in the analysis of Symbolic Logic itself. - Bertrand Russell

Space Force Uniform prototype!

Added this baby to my office / rocket collection this week.

I found my "why."

If only there were a resource specifically designed to explain to the U.S. government why Proof-of-Work networks (e.g., Bitcoin) are a national strategic priority. Seems like that would be pretty useful right about now. 🤷‍♂️

My family & I were able to surprise my granddad with a Certificate of Appreciation Ceremony hosted by The Dept of Veterans Affairs for his service in the Korean War. He was a gunner on Fletcher-class destroyers who served in several combat tours between 1949-1953.
