Ok - that makes sense. It’s a lot of work to aeropress and while I’ve gotten great coffee out of one, I’ve never had a good shot of espresso from one - to the point where I consider it false advertising - but then I realize that it’s a frisbee company that makes it.
So I can see how it makes sense to dress it up in a way to make it enjoyable.

Please explain this sorcery.
Is the idea to enjoy a tonic but add a boost of wakefulness?
Or is it to ruin a beautifully pulled shot of God’s nectar?

Bitcoin does fit into Mises' regression theorem. In fact, it aids in explaining Bitcoin's value along with Menger's origins of money.
Initially, Bitcoin was being mined and exchanged among developers, cypherpunks and hobbyists for some reason. They thought it was worthwhile to spend their CPU resources and time in order to learn about it and obtain it.
Then, someone at some point was willing to voluntarily part with his dollars or goods he valued in exchange for some Bitcoin when its market value was $0.
This could be the person who thought its value was $0.0025 at bitcoinmarket(.)com while making the first trade or Laszlo who was willing to part with his pizza for 10,000 bitcoin whose value was $25 when he made the first real-world transaction.
But the transactions happened voluntarily without any authority telling them that Bitcoin is money or that it is valued at a certain price or that they should define it in a particular way.
And other people decided to part with their dollars in exchange for Bitcoin at other prices.
Why any of these people decided to participate in these exchanges or why they thought Bitcoin had value, only they know. It was their own subjective valuations of Bitcoin that gave it a price, and continue to do so.
Now, we have many market participants valuing it at different prices, looking at what it was in the past and forecasting it to be worth various amounts in the future to buy, sell, spend or earn it right now.

Bob Murphy on Bitcoin and Ludwig Von Mises’ Regression Theorem

I agree that it satisfies the “theorem”. I disagree that the theorem confers scientific truth about Bitcoin being a money. It’s just another solid data point, not a hill for Austrians to die on.
The Austrian perspective has great power when its purpose is clear: to distinguish economics clearly from a science and debunk any scientific LARPs from the discussion of markets and price discovery.
When the Austrians begin to claim their principles are a science to use as Theorems like the Regression Theorem, they invalidate themselves and I dont find them useful anymore.
Sadly, the only help I think we get to understand Bitciun is from the Austrians even if it’s just to tell us what not to do. Luckily, there are thousands of pages of well written guidance from this perspective.
But for everything else, we’re on our own to discover it, which I would believe to be the most relevant Austrian perspective.
What is the 58k for Nostr?
What is our HFSP?
What is our Laser eyes?
What is the "Shitcoin" term for other socials?
Is nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx The Saylor of Nostr?
Is Purple-Pilling the term for Nostr Advocacy?
What are your hard-hitting questions about the Social Network Freedom Protocol?
I don’t see Nostr as analagous to Bitcoin. It’s intersecting and it might have taken enough Bitcoin adoption to make us realize why Nostr is worth building.
