hi Lori,

not sure how to understand the reference to Mercatus?

it is my understanding that libertarian funders have been supporting the new wave of bitcoin developments, hence the strong stress on tax dodging etc … in the recent literature

I’m pretty convinced by the critique of tav and the espians that bitcoin is a hoarding mechanism …

It’s usefullness though remains as a proof of concept of a socially sovereign currency,

Michel
