11/27/2013 Mises Wire Mark Thornton

I was interviewed today on RT TV about Bitcoin and the reasons it has soared in price to over $1000 per Bitcoin. It is both greater acceptance by vendors and governments as well as the world wide currency war and worry of war in the Middle East, especially in Iran which is in a hyperinflation that is driving the price higher. The Mises Institute can take donations in Bitcoin and you can also make purchases in our bookstore with Bitcoin.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
