> Not surprising: Keynesian economist doesn't like Austrian economics explanations.

When an Austrian economics fan says "Keynesian economist", it's like a creationist calling any sort of scientist who disagrees with them "evolutionary".

Coppola's assertions on history are reality-based. If you have particular objections, you'll need to go into more detail than just saying "Keynesian".

> Surprising: Bitcoin part is largely left uncriticized.

This was largely left to my review: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2018/04/07/saifedean-am... He makes a lot of assertions about Bitcoin that are simply factually untrue in plain English, and would only be barely true even being generous in assuming particular jargon.

To Ammous' credit, he appears to know more about the Bitcoin sphere than about ... basic economic history.
