> You keep trying to conflate critics of Bitcoin, many of whom have technical & finance backgrounds, with the largely non-technical crowd that didn't understand the web back in the 90s.

People today are as illiterate about economics as they were about the Internet back in the 90s. Just look around and see how many people know what Austrian econ is.

That's like saying you read Playboy because of articles. Price is the single most important metric of Bitcoin's success. Price determines whether Bitcoin will (or how close Bitcoin is to) overtaking Gold and fiat in becoming the world's reserve asset and freeing people from wealth confiscation via hidden inflation tax.

Every single one of what you listed is either FUD or not an accomplishment of socialism.

Specifically:

- Cuba's hospitals are not top notch, to say the least.

- Russia did the rapid industrializing but it already was on this way before the revolution and would be much better off should the socialist revolution never occurred.

- The equality laws for men and women are not due to socialism.

- China enjoyed the economic rise because they freed the marked not because they tied it, it's the opposite of socialism.
