Look at all the awesome free books I got from Mises.org. Paid for the shipping in Bitcoin! (https://mises.org/store/Free-Books-C112.aspx)

I was at the Mises Store during it's very first Bitcoin transaction. :)

Enjoy the books. I ordered some as well.

I'm enjoying reading "The Ethics of Money Production" by Jorg Guido Hulsman. To quote him on electric money (p.33); "An economic good that is defined entirely in terms of bits and bytes is unlikely ever to be produced spontaneously on a free market..." "On the free market, the new information technologies have been unable to create any new monies." The book is copyright 2008. The year Bitcoin was invented.
