A 20 minute overview of the thesis explored in my book "Orange, Black, and Red: An Exploration of Libertarian Socialism for Bitcoiners"
Orange, Black, and Red is a book written for Bitcoiners who already understand the Cantillon Effect, the printing press, and why sound money matters, and who were told this makes them libertarians or anarcho-capitalists. I argue it doesn't. The instincts that drew you to Bitcoin, a hatred of the money monopoly and a distrust of concentrated power, belong to an older and more radical tradition than the one that recruited you. Benjamin Tucker called himself a socialist for exactly the reasons you call yourself a Bitcoiner.
Bitcoiner since 2010, anarchist since the 1990s.
