At a high level, I think the world will be better once we stop trying to use money at all. But Bitcoin is not a step in that direction; it's a way to make money EVEN MORE damaging than it already is, which is impressive in a way.

I'm a big squishy sellout liberal when it comes to the concept of IP -- I think that, for all its flaws, unilaterally abolishing it under the current system will only hurt creative workers and artists But "fiat" IP is *limited*, it has *exemptions*, and it *expires over time*

Copyright terms being limited is basically "inflation" -- you will lose your IP over time so as long as you have it you gotta use it or lose it The longer copyright lasts and the more expectation IP holders have of extension, the slower the "inflation" is

I do not have to consider that and refusing to consider things from the Von Mises Institute is in fact a wise and healthy decision

If you don't think through why we hold money to begin with, you're unable to make coherent argument for why 'hoarding' is bad

I have, in fact, been through this argument many, many times before since I was in college and found it in the end a profound waste of my time and energies that has done nothing for my growth as a human being So no

If you're so well versed in this, why aren't you making a coherent argument then? Bare assertions aren't enough to carry the day
