In this solo riff, I challenge an Overton window many Bitcoiners (and I once) held sacred: that Austrian economics is a complete economic theory rather than a powerful tool for debunking bad ones. Sparked by reading Irreducible by Federico Faggin, I draw a parallel between classical vs. quantum physics and classical vs. Austrian economics, arguing that Austrian thought excels at telling us what economics is not—but becomes a trap when treated as a unifying theory. I share how reverence for Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe helped me cut through intellectual tyranny, yet nearly led me into “wrong-think” when I tried...

Another great episode. To all Canadian Bitcoin meetup organizers, Toine from 256Heat is trying to get in contact with the all the meetups from Windsor to Ottawa. He's hoping to do a tour, selling his newest home miner. Send me a DM for more information, or get in contact with Toine.

Great stuff from @npub12eml5kmtr… & @npub1emdtsxly9… . Bear markets are the time for building, and I bet that 99.9% of Bitcoiners (me included) would benefit from building their knowledge of how the mathematics of #Bitcoin really work. The guys do a great job at making the content easy to follow (although I will have to listen to this one a second time). And check out "Magic Internet Math" on YouTube!
