You two are my inspiration!! Thank you both so much for everything you're doing for us, it's really appreciated! Bitcoin is hope! Cheers

saifedean ammous has a very high level of understanding it's incredible actually

[@C_R_O_M________]

Thanks for this. A very easy to grasp book in the tradition of Austrian economics is Hazlitt's "Economics in one lesson" (starting with the broken window fallacy). A very interesting and prophetic essay was Hayek's speech when he received the Nobel Prize in Economics combined with his lecture in 1977 in the Gold and Monetary Conference (Nov. 10, 1977 - New Orleans). He essentially foresaw the emergence of something like BTC. P.S. A better analogy for delayed gratification (savings) and fishing would be an example in which instead of consuming the first fish caught you bait it to catch even larger fish.

Big fan of Dr Ammous and BTC, spent many happy hours down the old rabbit hole . . . BUT I'm from UK and i'm NEVER going to be sold on the benefits of monarchy!!! Also, I would enjoy these discussions a lot more if some kind of time was spent talking about the many historical failures of capitalism. The big state and welfarism didn't just pop up from nowhere, they were the response to massive market failures leading to very scary breakdowns in social order. Can we please have a grown-up talk about this. K. Polanyi might be a nice starting point - "Embedded Markets".

Talking to a Keynsian asking them why the need for more money brings to mind the classic scene in This is Spinal Tap

[@btdoe3259]

Learned more second time I watched it 😊

[@casema1976]

My main issue is the nature of labour contracts when money increases in value. If wages have to be adjusted downwards…but interest on a mortgage is fixed then how would that work?

[@kaneda4]

The argument for a low time preference Monarchy make a lot of sense. Also with the advancement of our society, structurally, i would be quasi-impossible to get to anarcho-capitalism (imho ideology closest to bitcoiners ideas). Military defense, homeland security, intelligence, cyber security, justice, energy, public transport infrastructure would be a minimum to sustain.
