My 2nd of 3 articles (so far) focusing on the climate of ideas that eventually led to what we now call "Bitcoin".

This one focuses on the philosopher Ayn Rand's concept of a hidden away place called "Galt's Gulch," which Cypherpunk Timothy C. May believed could be built better in cyberspace using mathematics and open source code than in real space.

Just finished Atlas Shrugged. This article definitely resonates.

Glad it resonates!

Check out the others if you haven't already... I've documented Bitcoin's influences of the following individuals so far: economists FA Hayek, David. D. Friedman, Lawrence H. White & George Selgin, philospher Ayn Rand (as you know), as well as science fiction authors Robert Heinlein & Vernor Vinge.
