yea because Hayek wanted to create an actual viable market of competitive currencies while the vast majority of cryptocurrencies today are pump n dump schemes with little to no economic thought put into them and no long term business model. why would u want to peg and limit the value of your currency when there’s a chance you can get T-Pain to blow it up sky high on hype, you sell off and make your profit that way instead of the long term profitable way of loaning money and arbitraging interest rates the way banks do now. Hayek’s thesis is still very relevant and becoming moreso in my opinion as central banks further distort the markets through unprecedented (pre 2008) actions such as direct liquidity injections through trillions in bond purchases
