Well done 600watt! I would suggest you create a thread outside the WO. You could help a few more bitcoiners with this list. Either way, I'm quoting this as a future reference. And then a question: given the huge amount of sources, what would you personally suggest to start with?
Thank you very much
my favorite is Guy Swann since he is reading a lot of interesting and mainly essential bitcoin writings and sometimes interviews the authors later.

*it is now called bitcoinaudible.com but the anchor link above presents it better imho. indeed, Guy started his podcast in March 2018. that is just 2.5 years ago.
most bitcoin podcasters seem to be married to Austrian economics. has anyone heard of a good btc podcast that tries to do this from a Keynesian point of view? I don't get why Keynes is hated so much by bitcoiners. I don't think he was wrong. government intervention in economic crisis is good imho. what governments worldwide did not do was the other thing that is part of keynes theory: in healthy economic periods governments should save capital in order to have dry powder for the next crisis. the governments just kept spending and printing more money.
That's a pretty easy one... I should read ahead since it may have been answered better than I will.
But I would say the reason why is Keynesian systems basically work on debt and constant monetary inflation in the hopes among other things to increase velocity. Case in point negative interest rates... a Keynesian end game measure that makes no sense until you understand they are useful to keep people from SAVING value. At least in the monetary system that is run that way. The encourage spending, and the creation of more debt which increases monetary velocity, and supposedly also creates better "wealth distribution".
Bitcoin on the other hand is at it's very core kind of anti Keynesian. Absolutely hard with a known cap. It encourages people to store value and save. And would arguably decrease monetary velocity. Paul Krugman is a Keynesian. And he hates bitcoin because it goes against all of what he believes as the right monetary policies.
I am not saying that there can't be Keynesian bitcoiners. Some people here are Keynsian whether they know it or not... But Bitcoin is definitely a polarizing force.
If you are a leftist you will find a lot of what Keynesian systems prioritize meshing with your values... It is also why so many libertarians got into bitcoin early.
