There is no denying that Bitcoin has gained popularity with libertarian minded people. This has caused self proclaimed libertarian’s to spread the word about Bitcoin. When this fiasco ends in tears do you think this will advance the libertarian agenda?
Libertarian philosophy has gained a lot of ground since 2008. One reason for this is that Austrian/libertarian economist were pounding on the table about the housing bubble until it burst in 2008. Some of us actually called it in real time. The internet has given us a platform to say “We were right”. This has given us credibility. We stand to lose philosophical ground because libertarians have not read this or this.
