I suppose it shouldn’t seem weird to combine goldbug and crypto-currency shill. Because crypto-currency is to a real degree a return to the “wildcat banking” era. That was a time when distrust of the government was so high that when faced with the limitations and cash-scarcity that the gold standard caused the US pretty let just about anybody found a bank and issue their own currency. Which worked pretty much as poorly as you would expect.

Yeehaw!
