On the Bitcoin fraud, most 'mainstream' economics writers go along with the Standard Version, claiming that Bitcoin like serves InDiViDu4l LibEr7y and like EvErytHin6 F0r Fr33 and shit.

The Standard Version is, of course, written by NSA to bring those types inside the belly of the NSA beast.

Yes. Exactly. Good to see a plain flat statement of fact.
