Mises Institute is fucking hopeless. Packed with libertarians addicted to losing.
Bitcoiners have done more for Austrian Economics and the legacy of Mises in the past decade than they’ve done in their entire existence, they try to take all the credit for the resurgence of people discussing sound money but it was Bitcoiners who bought “fiat” into the zeitgeist and helped normalise the idea that governments are stealing from you in a way the goldbugs and Austrians never could because they are and always were milquetoast LARPers.
They’ll shit on Hayek because he wasn’t radical enough, but Hayek was the major Austrian influence on the cypherpunks because of his work on information theory and more practical thinking on HOW to get back to sound money.
Most MI types want to remain in theory so they can claim ideological purity, that they missed the holy grail of their school will forever be their shame.
