According to a Bitcoin Magazine article, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Samuel Paparo referred to Bitcoin as a computer science tool with 'power projection' value during a congressional hearing. He also disclosed that the Indo-Pacific Command is running Bitcoin nodes for cybersecurity testing. The article suggests this aligns with Jason Lowery's 'Softwar' theory, which argues that PoW enhances network deterrence through real-world energy costs. However, the theory remains highly controversial, with critics questioning its feasibility in external network security, SHA-256, and ASIC supply chains. https://(wublock123.com)/news/bitcoin-power-projection-controversy-60774
