The section on bitcoin is about half way down the piece (though the whole thing is an interesting read)

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

The "Human Nature" TSA anecdote in this piece is a classic. The whole piece is well worth a read. Don't worry if you know the author is a gold bug and you are not - it's a thought-provoking article regardless of your world-view.

Nice find!

the guys at casey research together with the guys at agora financial seem to be some of the only gold bugs who actually get bitcoin and regularly write quality material about it.

It's all bullshit. But bullshit makes the flowers grow and that's beautiful.

Nice article. Deserves to stay near the top of the Press forum for a few days.
