  • Re: The Economics Of Bitcoin – Challenging Mises’ Regression Theorem

    Here's why I think you're on the right track, but not quite there. The Misesian Regression Theorem talks about the origin of money, but any claim it makes as to describing the origin of all money (and I don't think I remember that happening) is patently false, as we see media of exchange all around us that did not originate in this manner

  • Re: Exorcism

    It's somewhat irrelevant for the hypothetical, but as a witness to and occasional participant in many (Protestant) exorcisms in past years, no exorcism (if handled correctly) should threaten a life (with caveats -- once had some serious trouble with a very physically strong individual who was under the control of a demon and nearly injured me and

    [quote user="Smiling Dave"] Just thought of another answer. He didn't coin all of it, and didn't allow others to either. EDIT: not sure that would help. [/quote] Irrelevant. Bullion is just as easily traded against coinage.

    [quote user="Smiling Dave"] I think so. After all, the supply of money is higher, decreasing its price, i.e. its purchasing power. Look at Spain in the 1500s.

  • Re: Islam bias at LRC?

    Lew (like most of his contributors) is an anarchist. He (again, like most of his contributors) lives in America, so the focus of most of his attacks will be America. Israel is one of America's closest allies, so that puts them in the crosshairs. Both nations also talk a lot about how they are "free," but Israel (like, to a lesser extent
