Libertas a calumnia
Awesome video from Papola, really great job!

BTW: Hayek was for free competition of the currency on the market, I think he would be very interested in Bitcoin ;-)

I love the part about war.

And I also love this part:

KEYNES
so what would you do to help those unemployed?
this is the question you seem to avoid
when we’re in a mess, would you just have us wait?
Doing nothing until markets equil-i-brate?

HAYEK
I don’t want to do nothing, there’s plenty to do
The question I ponder is who plans for who?
Do I plan for myself or leave it to you?
I want plans by the many and not by the few.

So, according to my understanding, the bitcoin-economy would pretty much make a Keyneshian recovery-model impossible.

*No geographically defined-currency to boost
*Hard to collect taxes

Allthough, increasing the assets of the people in your local area, might boost the local economy right?
