This is a great take
Bitcoin's price touched ₹1 Crore (₹10 million) for the very first time on Bitbo 🧡
The Libertarian Party in the US posted a long write-up about Bitcoin on Twitter yesterday:

For those who don't want to visit the site, here's the full post copy-pasted:
"The US dollar is violence.
You were taught it keeps you safe, that it holds your economy together, that it’s the price of civilization. It’s the opposite.
It is how power sustains itself. It is how your labor is siphoned, your choices shaped, your future pre-decided. Every bill printed is another theft. Every sanctioned transaction is an act of control. Every bailout is proof of hierarchy. Every frozen account is a quiet execution.
Bitcoin is the first viable escape. It is a permissionless, borderless, apolitical network that doesn’t care who you are, where you live, or what you believe. It can’t be censored. It can’t be inflated. It can’t be stopped. You don't ask anyone to use it. You just use it.
Bitcoin is not a brand. It’s not a company. It doesn’t have a CEO or a headquarters or a PR team. It's an open protocol. It’s run by whoever chooses to run it. If you don’t like how it's used, pick up the code, run your own node, and build what you believe in. You don't need to ask for permission. That’s the point. That’s the power.
Bitcoin’s transparency is the foundation of its integrity. Its rules are visible. Its ledger is public. That’s how it resists corruption. That’s how it enforces consensus.
Nobody prints. Nobody censors. Nobody overrides the network. It is being built at the edges, through layers, tools, and evolving cryptography, because Bitcoin isn’t static. It adapts without compromise. It doesn’t promise perfection out of the box. Its openness is the guarantee. Its permanence is the defense. And its resistance to change is its greatest strength. Because in a world where everything bends to power, Bitcoin refuses.
Bitcoin is the child of rebels. It didn’t emerge from boardrooms or academia. It was born in mailing lists and message boards, written by hands that understood what was coming long before the rest of the world caught up.
Cypherpunks built the scaffolding. They wrote the code, forged the tools, and fought the early battles against surveillance, censorship, and centralization. Their mission was liberation. They knew the future would be digital, and they knew it had to be free. Bitcoin is their proof of work. The culmination of decades of resistance, brilliance, and refusal.
This is bigger than price. This is bigger than early adopters. This is bigger than petty tribalism. The system you live under is built to keep you compliant. Bitcoin exists to make that impossible.
It is voluntary, neutral, resilient. It is opt-in. That’s the whole point. You don’t need to be accepted by anyone to use it. You don’t need a bank. You don’t need a license. You don’t need the state. You just need the will.
Bitcoin doesn’t solve everything. But it breaks the monopoly on money. And breaking that breaks the leverage that power holds over your life.
This is the real revolution. One ledger, distributed, verified, running across a million machines that don't care who wins an election. One network that says no when the banks say yes. One tool that says enough.
It’s here. It’s global. It’s being tested in war zones, in collapsing economies, in totalitarian regimes, in quiet corners of the world where people are tired of asking for financial permission. It works. It’s growing. It’s only getting stronger. Block by block. Hash by hash.
Run a node. Hold your keys. Learn the system. Opt out of the old one. You don’t have to wait to be free. You just have to stop asking."

I think science till Mises' time had some humility to it in that most researchers and scholars acknowledged these limits.
I have no idea how, when or where it fell off and became so arrogant and as a result, stagnant.
Engineering and technology on the other hand have progressed superbly.
Was reading Mises' Human Action and came across this passage you might be interested in:
"Both principles of cognition—causality and teleology—are, owing to the limitations of human reason, imperfect and do not convey ultimate knowledge. Causality leads to a regressus in infinitum which reason can never exhaust. Teleology is found wanting as soon as the question is raised of what moves the prime mover. Either method stops short at an ultimate given which cannot be analyzed and interpreted. Reasoning and scientific inquiry can never bring full ease of mind, apodictic certainty, and perfect cognition of all things. He who seeks this must apply to faith and try to quiet his conscience by embracing a creed or a metaphysical doctrine."
This can either be interpreted as a humble *or* begrudging concession about the limitations of scientific inquiry 😂
It's not about never selling or spending.
It's not about relentless stacking and earning.
It's about being sats flow positive.
Exactly!
The extent to which a company is 'Sats flow positive' is the most important performance metric.
This is likely where we are headed.
This thread of Menger and Bohm-Bawerk -> Mises -> Hayek -> Cryptographers, Hackers, Cypherpunks and Extropians -> Bitcoiners is picked up really well by Aaron van Wirdum in his 'Genesis Book'
This was a good listen!
