| Would you say there's no hope for privacy on Bitcoin anymore, and, if so, is   |
| it mainly because of KYC? I'm just thinking that the tradeoff seems            |
| inevitable: the more any given currency appreciates in value, the more         |
| regulators and the "old world" institutions are interested in controlling it.  |
|                                                                                |
| Could things have gone differently in your opinion? And more importantly, do   |
| you see any paths forward for Bitcoin in this regard?                          |
|                                                                                |
| For example, would not privacy be good enough (whatever that means) if one     |
| purchases KYC-free Bitcoin and then goes through coinjoins on top of that?     |

| Since you're talking about Austrian economics, this is what Rothbard has to    |
| say about interest rates:                                                      |
|                                                                                |
| "Perhaps more fallacies have been committed in discussions concerning the      |
| interest rate than in the treatment of any other aspect of economics. It took  |
| a long while for the crucial importance of time preference in the              |
| determination of the pure rate of interest to be realized in economics; it     |
| took even longer for economists to realize that time preference is the only    |
| determining factor. Reluctance to accept a monistic causal interpretation has  |
| plagued economics to this day."                                                |

| Your suggestion that perhaps a jury of random citizens should select the       |
| interest rates is a fallacy, as was already argued by Hayek in his "The Use of |
| Knowledge In Society" - https://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/hykKnw.html     |
|                                                                                |
| The interest rate is the price of money, so select group of people, however    |
| skilled or randomly chosen, should "decide" it.                                |
|                                                                                |

| Are you talking about OP_RETURN limits? If that's the case, I'm not sure how   |
| it's causing the UTXO set to increase in size                                  |

| What is the most accurate definition of "fiat"?                                |
|                                                                                |
| I'll start with: fiat is a detachment from naturally occurring equilibrium     |
| conditions, usually sustained by more or less temporary imbalances of power.   |
| By definition, it creates an environment that cannot last and under which more |
| damage and suffering than necessary are experienced as events unfold that      |
| cause everything to revert to its original and self-sustaining state.          |
|                                                                                |

| Getting rid of most of your wealth is different from not being able to reach a |
| very high level of wealth in the first place.                                  |
| One can do whatever one wants with his or her wealth.                          |

| I'm not sure I fully understand your argument to be honest, especially as it   |
| translates to the current conditions.                                          |
|                                                                                |
| Are you saying that individuals should hold a variety of currencies, both      |
| traditional hard monies and cryptos other than Bitcoin, because if everyone    |
| converged to holding Bitcoin only then it would be easier for authorities to   |
| fight it?                                                                      |
| I can see how it could be more desirable for authorities to target Bitcoin if  |
| no alternatives existed, but I don't see how it could be easier. How would     |
| they go about removing the 21M cap for example?                                |
|                                                                                |

| Why would it have helped to keep a mix of currencies under Bretton Woods,      |
| since only central banks could have exchanged them for dollars and then for    |
| gold? Why not try to accumulate as much gold as possible in that scenario?     |
