My panel at agenda.btchel.com/ (in an hour) is "Why is Austrian Economics important?" “Subjective value, time preference, and sound money: the Austrian ideas that keep surfacing in Bitcoin arguments. What the school actually claims, where it is genuinely contested including by other Austrians, and what any of it tells you about the money you are holding.” Part of my opening statement (if I get to give it; things are not always unchaotic here; the Coldcard debacle really flustered lots of these chaps. I kid. I kid. Or ... do I?) "Just as liberty is not the only thing that matters in society or for us as humans, so economics is important for fields like ethics, politics, philosophy, and bitcoin. There is this silly argument by some libertarians called thickism: that libertarianism is “thick” and its “commitments” entail other ones. This is just a disingenuous attempt to substitute our rigorous principles and concepts, which have to with violence, conflict, and force—“So long as men desire to live together, no man may initiate—do you hear me? no man may start—the use of physical force against others.” [Ayn Rand]—with vague, slippery ones like “harm” or “bossing people around”. [But see “Aggression” versus “Harm” in Libertarianism (Dec. 16, 2009); Hoppe on Property Rights in Physical Integrity vs Value, StephanKinsella.com (June 12, 2011)] Of course a good society requires more than liberty or rights. There are host of other shared values and norms that matter, including culture and sufficient relevant homogeneity. But this does not mean that libertarianism “includes” or “is” these other things. Similarly, knowledge of a variety of fields is relevant to libertarianism and political philosophy: history, economics, even math and science. It is difficult to imagine a good case for liberty or a literate libertarian who is completely ignorant of economics. Yet economics ≠ math ≠ history ≠ libertarian theory. In any case, we should not be surprised that a deep understanding of bitcoin requires knowledge not only of technology and business, but also economics. And, as Austrian economics is the most sound economics, it is no surprise that a large number of bitcoiners have varying degrees of knowledge and interest in Austrian economics. It helps explain the nature of money (that money is a sui generis good that solves the dual problems of barter: to-wit, the double coincidence of wants problem and the inability to calculate as between incommensurate heterogeneous goods, services, and other factors), its origin via the regression theorem of Menger and Mises; its role in the business cycle, when produced by the state and via fraudulent reserve banking, and so on. ..."

Thinks average libertarians are weak on/confused about: why "property" doesn't refer to the thing you own but to the right what fraud is why threats are aggression the "source" of rights why law <> legislation why contract <> the written agreement why gay marriage should be legal why the Bill of Rights does not apply to the States why the Constitution is not good or libertarian why the original USA was not "almost libertarian" why you are not "responsible for" your property why "all property rights limit other property rights" is not true how to get and keep a real job
