Yes sir
Hi, Michael, I wish I could get certain of my family members to understand your #Capitalism quote!
So, you're an #AustrianEconomics guy, and you like #BTC? I went to a conference at the #MisesInstitute in Auburn, AL way back in 2009. #PeterSchiff was one of the guest-speakers, and he has since become a vocal opponent of BTC. Of course, back then BTC was not well known.
I've sorta lost touch with the Mises Institute community. What's the general attitude among prominent, Austrian scholars towards BTC? Are they usually negative or is Schiff more of an outlier? Not that Schiff is a scholar, but he's been floating around the Austrian community for a while, lending his celebrity to the scene (for a generous honorarium I'm sure - haha).
Saifdean Ammous, Peter St Onge , Rahim Taghizadegan , and nostr:npub13l3lyslfzyscrqg8saw4r09y70702s6r025hz52sajqrvdvf88zskh8xc2 have all been on various #Bitcoin shows/podcast here are just a few.

I follow Bob Murphy and Tom Woods. I think Bob wrote a white paper on bitcoin back in 2014. http://understandingbitcoin.us/
I've heard Tom Woods mention btc several times but he doesn't talk about it a lot. I'm not sure about many of the other current Austrian scholars? I think Schiff is stuck because of his gold stuff he pushes.
Yeah, I have listened to more bitcoiners talk about Austrian Economics in contrast to Austrian Economists talking about bitcoin. Still it's always a great listen, when it's an A E talking about bitcoin
