Inflation, or manipulation of the money supply to the benefit of the politically well connected, is quite possibly the most pervasive frauds of modern society.  It creates multiple layers of compounded resource misallocation, it benefits the debtors and manipulators at the expense of savers, it puts a constant downward pressure on living standards, and it enables more unchecked corruption and abuse of power than any other aspect of our political systems.   Following Hulsmann's work, Deflation & Liberty, we have a foundation to understand how deflation, and sound money, strips the false elites of this power.  Bitcoin isn't a new player, Bitcoin is a whole new game. Today we have a Guy's Take follow-up to Hulsmann's great work, and a conversation on how Bitcoin could bring down the state.

When we think about the unmatched scarcity of Bitcoin as a monetary good (particularly after looking at @100trillionUSD's stock-to-flow model), it inevitably leads to an important question.  If Bitcoin's supply is expected to be endlessly deflationary, doesn't this ensure a never ending, economy destroying downward spiral?  Doesn't deflation halt economic growth and investment? Beginning a 3 episode answer to this critically important question we start by reading Jörg Guido Hülsmann's amazing piece, available thanks to the Mises Institute: Deflation & Liberty https://mises.org/library/deflation-and-liberty-1 We will conclude the argument for the liberating powers of deflationary money with a Guy's Take episode breaking it all down.  Subscribe and stay tuned so you don't miss it!
