Without Hayek, there would've been no Bitcoin.

For lack of a better term, "credit" where it's due.

It amazes me how little interest the Mises Institute and Austrian Economists generally have in Bitcoin.

It is the single most consequential thing to ever materialise from the Austrian school but many are too stuck in their theory to appreciate what Hayek’s work helped unleash on the world.

Too much math.

(There's some back story to that joke.)

Joking side, I think in their view, Hayek strayed later in life.
