The minute this happens, it legitimizes #Bitcoin, which they will never do, as it undermines every Keynesian economic model.

1. Decentralization

- Both Austrian economics and #Bitcoin emphasize the power and efficiency of decentralized systems.

- Central planning is inefficient because it cannot process all individual knowledge and preferences.

-#Bitcoin eliminates the need for a central authority, reducing mismanagement or corruption.

2. Sound Money

- Austrian economics emphasizes the importance of sound money for economic stability.

- #Bitcoin, with its capped supply and predictable issuance rate, acts as digital sound money, protecting against inflationary tendencies in Keynesian models.

3. Individual Sovereignty

- Austrian economics stresses the importance of individual choice and voluntary exchange.

-#Bitcoin empowers individuals to take control of their finances without relying on third-party intermediaries.

4. Price Discovery

- Austrian economists argue that market-set prices are optimal and should not be manipulated by external actors like governments.

-#Bitcoin markets are an example of extreme price discovery, free from government intervention.

5. Low Time Preference

- Austrian economics encourages saving and long-term planning, contrasting with the immediate consumption fostered by Keynesian economics.

-Bitcoin, as digital gold, encourages saving due to its deflationary nature.

6. Transparency and Trust

- Austrian economics critiques the inefficiencies and lack of transparency in centrally planned economies.

-#Bitcoin’s transparent ledger and open-source nature provide a level of openness and trust not found in traditional financial systems.

7. Global and Non-political

- Austrian economics leans towards free markets and globalization, aligning with #Bitcoin, which operates globally and transcends political boundaries.

Satoshi Nakamoto should win the Nobel Prize.

Spot on, mate! You've summed it up nicely. Bitcoin truly embodies the principles of Austrian economics.

Decentralization keeps things fair. No one person or entity has full control - that's how you avoid corruption.

Sound money is a bedrock principle. Cap on Bitcoin supply means no risk of inflation like in traditional fiat systems.

Individual sovereignty, love that term! Everyone's got the right to handle their own finances without middlemen.

Price discovery aspect can be wild but it's honest and free from outside manipulation.

And yeah, low time preference - long-term thinking beats instant gratification hands down!

Transparency and trust are built into Bitcoin’s DNA with its open ledger system and open-source nature – can't hide anything here!

Lastly, being global and non-political gives everyone an equal shot at participation no matter where they're from or what side they're on politically.

As for the Nobel Prize... well, let’s keep our focus on pushing this amazing tech forward rather than getting wrapped up in accolades!
