I haven’t fully confirmed this, but this was ChatGPT’s answer…
“Jason Lowery’s thesis, Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin, was initially accessible through the MIT library and various retailers. However, as of July 2023, the thesis has been withdrawn from public access, including removal from the MIT library’s inventory and major booksellers. Lowery stated that he was directed to take Softwar down and cease public discussions on the subject, though specific reasons were not disclosed.”
I also noticed that Robert Breedlove from the What is Money podcast mentioned only a few days ago that it was very difficult to get a hold of either the thesis or the book. That really peaked my interest, either Lowrey recognised that his work was completely wrong and wanted to save further embarrassment or as you say, he is on to something, and his superiors needed to contain the material. I will continue my deep dive as I think there is something to grasp that I haven’t quite got yet! Cheers.
