What does it mean to "project power" in the context of @JasonPLowery's Softwar and in the lexicon of the military in general, and specifically for Bitcoin as a digital warfare?

If you have 26 minutes and want to become more wholistic about the conflict, watch the Israeli narrative that beats the Arab narrative by a mile. There are a few things that should be added here.
The British switched sides from Jewish to Arab after 1939 for fear that the Arabs (much bigger population than Jews) would join the Nazi camp. The British were also disappointed that the French conceded to Nazis and London believed that it should take the whole Mideast to itself. When the French came back in 1945, they took Israel's side while Britain was on the Arab side until 1956, when Nasser's nationalization of Suez brought them back together against him. To understand how the British took the Arab side against Israel, think who took the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Israel. It was the Jordanian Army led by British general Glubb Pasha.
My professor at AUB left Haifa while a kid with his family in 1948 to Alexandria. He used to tell us in class that they left everything in their house as is thinking they would come back from a summer vacation in Alexandria. They were told that the Iraqi Army was coming, would destroy Israel, then they could come back. The Arab armies did come, but they only took the West Bank that Jordanian King Abdullah I wanted to annex. His rivals, at the time the Saudis, vetoed the move at the Arab League, and that's why the West Bank stayed in limbo, a former mandate land without any recognized sovereignty over it (until today). In 1964, Nasser was engaged in war against Saudi and Jordan, in Yemen, and wanted to undermine Saudis and Jordanians, so he instigated the Arabs of the West Bank to secede by proclaiming Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza (then join him in union after Syria had exited the United Arab Republic in 1961). The Palestinians gathered in East Jerusalem and planned to proclaim their state in the West Bank and Gaza, but the Saudis shot down the creation of Palestine at the Arab League because they didn't want to allow their rival Nasser an easy win. Instead, the Saudis propped up their own Palestinian faction that doubled down by saying Palestine would not be West Bank and Gaza only, but all of Mandate Palestine. This was Yasser Arafat. After losing in 1967 and 1973, Saudi and Egypt came to the conclusion that the eradication of Israel was impossible, and decided to share the land with Israel and create Palestine on West Bank and Gaza only, but now it was the radical crazies (Iraq, Syria, Libya) who shot down such plan and propped up Palestinian radical militias. When these Arab regimes weakened, Iran picked up the tab in 1979, has been doing so since. The rest is history.

I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/

Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in America, contains glyphosate. Glyphosate exposure has been linked to all kinds of diseases, including Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 95% of our corn, and much of our wheat, is routinely sprayed with Roundup. This is something every American should be concerned about. @joerogan #Kennedy24

@cryptomanran It is easily explained because your followers love Solana because you love Solana and shill it endlessly (even though we now know the Solana pump was fueled by SBF selling FTX users Eth and BTC to buy Solana)

This AI moment of GPT4, paLM-E, and Stability AI is literally a nuclear deflationary bomb and is by far and away the biggest deflationary shock the world has ever seen, in the shortest ever period of time too, and is easily the biggest technology shift humanity has ever faced (maybe exceeding that of the nuclear bomb itself).

As Microsoft rolls this technology out into Microsoft Office, it will scale to over 1bn users in probably months, changing the nature of work, forever.

Nothing has ever happened like this before and we are all spinning to get our heads around what this means... for literally... everything.

The disruption to knowledge workers is beyond our imagination, both good (productivity) and bad (less jobs).

The opportunities it offers by leveling the playing field for poorer countries is also a systemic shock.

The genie is out of the bottle and it is not going back in.

@JasonPLowery Exactly what question did you ask it @JasonPLowery ?

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

So the state will attack BTC for using electricity, and ETH for being a security. Wise people in crypto will defend both, easily.

The attack will fail on both counts, and the blocks will keep ticking... and on the horizon you can almost see fiat's arms flailing in desperation.

The US gov had no plan to compete with China's digital currency.

Fortunately, US entrepreneurs gave it a way to secure dollar dominance and beat the e-Yaun. They called it a stablecoin.

So then the US gov went to war with its crypto entrepreneurs and lost everything.

The end.

We've been busy stacking veCRV to give our new Curve vaults the maximum 2.5x boost.

In other words, if it's on Curve, you'll get the best yield on Yearn.
