My reading of "SoftWar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin" by Major Jason Paul Lowery. This video uses the book in accordance with http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 under which the book was published.

***2023/07/27: Jason has been ordered to stop selling his book and asked to stop speaking on the matter publicly. So I am definitely going to carry on.***

Note: This is a "first" edition. There are typos. I point some out and I might be wrong.

***Image and audio in each video will improve as I learn how to do this better***
