Bitshala Reading Club
·OnlineOnlineBitshala Reading Club: A New Chapter Begins! We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new season of the Bitshala Reading Club, where we dive deep into the most influential literature surrounding the Bitcoin ecosystem. This season, we are tackling one of the most provocative and discussed theses in recent years:
The Book "Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin" by Jason Paul Lowery. Major Lowery’s work recontextualzes Bitcoin not just as a financial system, but as a masterpiece of cyber-security and a tool for national strategic defense. Whether you are a developer, an economist, or a curious learner, this reading will fundamentally change how you view the protocol.
The Schedule Launch Date:
Friday, May 8, 2026 (Introductory Session)
Weekly Sessions: Every Friday Time: 8:00 PM IST / 2:30 PM UTC
Location: Bitshala Discord - Lounge voice channelWhy Join? Reading alone is great, but dissecting complex theories with a community is better. Guided Discussions: Breakdown of complex chapters. Interactive Q&A: Share your perspectives and challenge the status quo. Community: Connect with fellow Bitcoin learners from around the globe. Set your reminders and grab your copy of Softwar. Let’s explore the future of power projection together. See you on the Bitshala Discord!
Jump in. Monday 8 PM IST.
