      Has any bubble in economic history ever sustained such a high risk-adjusted return for such a long period? To any economist who generally believes market signals this cries out for a fundamental explanation. http://charts.woobull.com/bitcoin-risk-adjusted-return/ …pic.twitter.com/UJSjKadSqh

      Don't trust anyone who says Bitcoin is going to zero if they can't articulate a coherent economic explanation for why it has been non-zero for almost a decade.

      Ability to articulate an argument is ancillary. True test of price forecasters is if they survive/profit over the long term acting on their predictions. If a debate arose between heliocentric and "geocentric" astronautical engineer, just see who creates a functional satellite.

      I'm respectful of economists if they've even bothered to research Bitcoin's market signal in the past tense: supply, demand, the normal things economists are supposed to research when they see a strong market signal.

      Exactly. I've been particularly disappointed in modern Austrian economic scholars who had the tools to understand the emergence of #Bitcoin yet missed the most important monetary innovation in a thousand years (exceptions are you, Saif and Konrad Graf)https://twitter.com/real_vijay/status/1032509406196379648?s=19 …

      3/ The modern Austrian school inherited the mantle of "hard money" economics from the School of Salamanca and one might have imagined that Austrian economists would have been the first to anticipate and understand the emergence of #Bitcoin. Alas, it was not so. Why?

      Early understanding of the value of Bitcoin involved a very rare combination of certain advanced parts of computer science with nondogmatic knowledge of deep monetary history. No surprise this combination was and is scarce in our age of hyperspecialists and ideologues.

      I agree. But we are rapidly approaching, maybe have already past, the point where monetary economists can be forgiven for ignoring bitcoin. Your above makes it clear that without understanding the tech the price history alone suggests something important is happening.

      Yes. The strong market signal itself tells you that something important is very likely going on. But to go further and understand the value you have to among other things understand the tech. That, and the central bank ideology that is macroeconomics, are chief stumbling blocks.

          I think it would be respectable if they said, “I don’t know enough about computer science to know if this can scale, remain secure, etc, but if I assume that I would expect it to be adopted as money.” Or if they had honest objections. But I’ve yet to see even that. Lots o liars.

          When people who dont get it despite prolonged exposure it always seems to be because it challenges their worldview - tech objections usually a facade. E.g. Austrians have a hard baked interpretation of the regression theorem, Keynesians obsessed with aggregate demand & inflation
