'Bitcoin is fundamentally not protected by electricity, hashing machines, or even the "logical security" of nodes. Bitcoin is backed by a volunteer militia. The antifragile nature of Bitcoin as an ecosystem is because it's an open source project without a central coordinator.'
I agree with this. Haven't read softwar book, but from both I've heard about it and from what #[0] writes, Lowery's cybersecurity argument does not make sense.
I would disagree with #[1]'s intro though about a book. It's OK that he does not want to read it, pay for it, etc, but there's no requirement for these discussions to be out in public for free. It's OK to participate in public discourse and unique ideas by publishing paid books. Authors and thinkers also need income, they can freely decide this is the way how they provide their ideas to the world.
