Human Action by Mises is a really important read if you want to understand the importance of #Bitcoin and a market economy better.
As for Rothbard, I’ve never read anything from him that felt like it could realistically be applied, but I also haven’t read a lot. According to this Reason piece, he became more of a Conservative populist and less of a Liberian, which isn’t surprising.
