National Security
in the Digital Age
A co-edited volume on Bitcoin as a tool for modern statecraft, energy security, monetary strategy, and American resilience.
§ 01 — Thesis
Bitcoin as statecraft
The book asks how Bitcoin changes national-security practice, energy security, the global monetary system, and the strategic posture of the United States. It was written for lay readers, civil servants, policymakers, and policy-adjacent operators who need to understand Bitcoin as more than a speculative asset.
My role was as co-editor and contributor inside the Bitcoin Today Coalition project, helping turn a wide field of essays into a coherent policy-facing volume.
