The Case for Monetary Maximalism with Conza - FFS #104

Conza joins us to discuss the case for monetary maximalism in Bitcoin, starting from the first principles of Austrian economics to discussing the importance of maintaining Bitcoin as the best money the world has ever seen. 

Key Takeaways:
🔹Common misconceptions about economics and Bitcoin include the idea that miners set the price.
🔹Austrian economics differs from the natural sciences in its a priori deductive reasoning and focus on human action.
🔹The Mises regression theorem explains the subjective nature of money and the role of subjective utility in its value.
🔹Bitcoin does not violate the Mises regression theorem and has proven to be a form of money through its historical use as a medium of exchange.
🔹Other use cases for Bitcoin can reduce its functionality as money and it is important to protect the integrity of the network.
🔹Bitcoin faces challenges and threats from spam attacks and scammy tokens.
🔹Active filtering of spam transactions is crucial to protect the value proposition of Bitcoin.
🔹Education and awareness are important in addressing the challenges faced by Bitcoin.
🔹Decentralized exchanges like Bisq play a role in maintaining the peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin.
🔹Bitcoin's monetary network removes the need for trusted third parties.
