 I am talking about studying money & its effect on society 
 Well we've reached N of 1, at least

I have a graduate degree in economics & (more importantly) have spent thousands of hours studying (mostly Austrian) economics since then

I am of the opinion that Bitcoin is economically illiterate and it will be to the great shame of Austrian economists to have ever supported it

I regard Bitcoin as a better form of fiat - a "nothing" but with better rules than the dominant "nothing"

Also, do you imagine that Peter Schiff hasn't spent thousands of hours studying money? 
 I was referring to his opposition to "fix the money, fix the world." Given that Peter is infinitely critical of central banking & has made selling gold the center of his life I would wager that (despite not believing that bitcoin fixes the money) he does basically believe that fixing the money will fix many of the major problems in society.
