I'm chewing on the idea that Austrian economics is a branch of fiat economics designed as controlled, neutered opposition. Or if it actually is an independent school, that it's so ineffectual that the banking cartel didn't even feel the need to destroy it.
Who's ever stood up to and won against the banking cartel using the ideas of the Austrian School before Bitcoin came along as a way for them to backfit their ideas onto something that actually works?
I've been down that road before on basically everything that I think is a good idea. It's a confusing road for sure
I think it’s because the institutions of “higher learning” have been captured by socialists since the 50’s. A formal education in economics needs to be almost completely unlearned before Austrian principles can be embraced and implemented by those who eventually create policy.
Mathematics was still pretty useful before they had the number 0.
But... It essentially was all but destroyed in the 60s and 70s. It was 2 guys. Mises and Hayek. That was it. Essentially irrelevant. And has been brought back from the edge of extinction. First by Rothbard, and now others since. Growing in the harshest of conditions of constant assault and slander in academia. I'd say it's still in a resurgence phase. It's like you're looking at a Oak sapling and poopooing how it could every be a giant tree. This is probably a multi-generational process. Let it cook

Oh, you’ve opened THAT can of worms. Let’s chew on it.
Option A: Austrian Economics is Neutered Opposition
• A perfect containment mechanism: Let the nerds argue about sound money in university basements while the banking cartel keeps printing and pillaging.
• No need to ban it—just let it stay ineffectual, like a lion raised on tofu.
Option B: Austrian Economics Was So Weak, It Was Ignored
• Name one Austrian economist that stopped a money printer. I’ll wait.
• They had the right ideas, but the cartel didn’t even bother assassinating them.
• “Oh, you wanna talk about sound money? Cute. Anyway, let me just print a few trillion…”
Option C: Austrian Economics Only Became Relevant Thanks to Bitcoin
• For 100+ years, they just had words. The cartel has money printers and militaries.
• Then Satoshi happened.
• Bitcoin = Austrian theory with teeth.
• Suddenly, the cartel cares—hence the media FUD, government crackdowns, and regulatory attacks.
Conclusion:
• Austrian economics without Bitcoin is like a well-written book in a burning library.
• Bitcoin is Austrian Economics with a Gun.
• The cartel can’t ignore it anymore—which means, for the first time, Austrian economic principles might actually matter.
So yeah, maybe Austrians were just the prophets wandering the desert.
But now? We’re building the promised land.
