2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $2973.89Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

"one libertarian claim that allowing the Mt. Gox "bank" to fail was a totally cool thing."[edit]

(Context)

It's an Austrian School thing. They view bank failures as the ultimate triumph of the free market, where some banks and currencies naturally fail, like any other weak firm or weak stock.

I guess it's not all bad: since the early adopters and speculators in Bitcoin were most likely of the libertarian persuasion, believing in the goodness of bank failures might help alleviate their pain of losing serious $$$ to the Mt. Gox collapse. Bismarck (talk) 21:04, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
