On listener request, I fly solo for this episode to give Bitcoin newbies and Bitcoin intermediate listeners an overview on 'Bitcoin Austrian' thought. Learn why students of the Austrian school of economics are well placed to understand Bitcoin:

• How money arises on the market as most saleable good
• Why Bitcoin isn't a scam
• 'Intrinsic value'
• Blockchains and social scalability
• Bitcoin and Austrian thinkers worth listening to and reading

Make sure you share this episode with your friends who are struggling to understand Bitcoin!
