 I didn’t become a Ron Paul guy until 12 unfortunately 
 He came and spoke at asu in 08, my Econ prof let us out of class to go see him if we wanted to. I was the only one lol 
 That’s awesome 
 Wonder if your professor is an bitcoiner now 
 Doubt it. They were all gold bugs. Bds 
 Ohh yeah big mental hurdle to get over for the boomers 
 I wrote about this about schiff. It’s hardest for ppl that understand sound money and the fiat problem but think gold is the answer. It’s easier for ppl that are just figuring this stuff out in general, they haven’t already dug in. I do thank them for teaching me Austrian Econ tho.

 Yeah tough pill to swallow. They got proven right about the dollar, but here comes bitcoin stealing their thunder 😂 
 Yup. The assumption that Austrian economists embrace bitcoin is just not rooted in reality. The ops would understand this if they didn’t just wake up to these problems a few years ago lolll 
 It totally checks out that Wall Street ppl that made fun of gold bugs/austrians adopted btc first lol. The charts don’t lie. They aren’t emotionally attached to gold
