📣 ANNOUNCEMENT
Bitshala Reading Club: A New Chapter Begins!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new season of the Bitshala Reading Club, where we dive deep into the most influential literature surrounding the Bitcoin ecosystem.
This season, we are tackling one of the most provocative and discussed theses in recent years:
📖 The Book
"Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin" by Jason Paul Lowery.
Major Lowery’s work recontextualizes Bitcoin not just as a financial system, but as a masterpiece of cyber-security and a tool for national strategic defense. Whether you are a developer, an economist, or a curious learner, this reading will fundamentally change how you view the protocol.
