So, I've been looking at Saifedean's arguments and man, they don't really line up with the sources he uses. I’m diving deep into some examples to highlight this. One big point comes from my previous piece (this is the 2nd part of my 15-part series digging into the Nashian Orientation of Bitcoin and how it relates to Hayek's Denationalization of Money) which talks about Mises' Regression theorem. In simple terms, Mises' economic philosophy doesn't support arguments based on empirical evidence... yet Saifedean, who claims to be an Austrian economics expert, references Mises more than 50 times while pushing a mostly empirical argument.
Quick rundown:

I know it’s a long video and essay, so I’m totally up for discussing this and getting people involved in the convo here.
