There are people that were early to Bitcoin, and then there are people that were EARLY. Milton Friedman nailed it in 1999!

Humbling to think about how these new technologies stand on the shoulders of giants. Thanks to the OG Cypherpunks.

Reminds me of the infinite wisdom of FA Hayek, who understood much of Bitcoin ahead if its time. A less frequently used quote of his from The Road to Serfdom, “The ultimate ends of the activities of reasonable beings are never economic. Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented by man.”

“The ultimate ends of the activities of reasonable beings are never economic. Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented by man.” ― FA Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

“Liberty not only means that the individual has both the opportunity and the burden of choice; it also means that he must bear the consequences of his actions and will receive praise or blame for them. Liberty and responsibility are inseparable.” - FA Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can’t stop.” FA Hayek
