I refuse to believe that Carstens from the BIS is the most sophisticated critic of Bitcoin. There has to be a really intelligent pro-fiat central bank economist out there who is writing a piece with steel-manned arguments against Bitcoin's continued future growth.

All they have are their self-serving dogmas & their macroeconomic speculations, & their liturgy combining these (e.g. their obsession with one economic historical event out of thousands, ignoring all its non-monetary causes e.g. tax raises & unpayable debts of defeated empires).

Maybe just a teeny bit harsh, wouldn't you say? There are several thoughtful pieces on the subject, I think.

There are also thousands of thoughtful pieces of theology from each of the major world religions that thoroughly contradict each other.

This is true, but am not sure what point you are trying to make. One can make a thoughtful pro/con analysis of any money and payment system. Unless one is peddling a particular religion, that is. Is that what you're doing?

No, we have designed and are fielding superior forms of digital money, which central bankers and macroeconomists do not know how to do.

Great news! Can you send me link that explains how it works (I presume you mean something other than BTC).

So much for claim of being thoughtful.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm obviously familiar with BTC, but am also aware of other protocols that deliver different properties (e.g., enhanced anonymity). Was this being unthoughtful?

Yes that is what I was referring to, things you already have links to.

Alright, well it wasn't obvious to me what you were referring to.
