🇺🇸 Admiral Samuel Paparo: "our interest in Bitcoin is as a tool of cryptography, a blockchain and reusable proof of work as an additional tool to secure networks and to project power. I think this protocol is here to stay."
"All instruments of national power are important, but from the military application standpoint, my interest in Bitcoin is as a computer science tool as projection of power."
"People use Bitcoin today right now to protect their own intellectual property. And that's the reusable proof of work protocol that's combined with blockchain for accountability and cryptography for security. And so that's the role that I see for it."
"We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now... We doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol."
