"There's a long trend of libertarian thought about the functions of the state and what can be done outside the state," said Eli Dourado, research fellow and director of the technology policy programme at Mercatus Center research institute, said. "For example, there's a famous article by Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek on the denationalization of money; so this is very much in that current of thought: serious people thinking about whether money can be done without the state."
I wrote a feature for CoinDesk on how trends in established libertarian philosophy intersect with the recent development of cryptocurrency, featuring comments from Roger Ver and Erik Voorhees among others. Extract above, and full text here. Since the Steemit community also has a strong libertarian element, I'd love to know what you think is accurate, inaccurate, or could be developed into a further piece, perhaps for this platform - let me know in the comments!
