If you want to learn more about BTC and "principles of economics" as they relate to BTC, I recommend going through the literature here:

Specifically look for stuff written by Nick Szabo. Some particularly good ones: "Shelling Out: The Origins of Money", "Trusted Third Parties are Security Holes", and "Money, Blockchains, and Social Scalability"
