First Shots Fired
@TomK posted about this article yesterday:

Last night everyone was weighing in on nostr. Marty Bent was actually quoted in the paper. It purports to be a serious economic paper, but most people in the bitcoin world see it as the beginning of a full scale war by the EU on bitcoin.
I finally read it through last night, and I may give my laymen impressions at some point.

What I really would love to see, though, are real bitcoin economists, and not influencers or amateurs like me, pick this thing apart.
We have that talent on Stacker News with @SimpleStacker and @Undisciplined. @SimpleStacker has already written a review of an academic paper here:

This paper could very well be the beginning of an assault on bitcoin. We need our own economists to shred it in the academic arena.
All this stemmed from users saying copy paste was too hard 😂
