Join the Bitcoin District Book Club! We meet every month to explore new and exciting rabbit holes by reading books that are popular with bitcoiners.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on Murray Rothbard’s classic essay What Has Government Done to Our Money? — a foundational work in Austrian economics that explores the history and nature of money, how government intervention distorts its function, and why sound, market-based money matters for freedom and prosperity.

Rothbard traces money’s evolution from a simple medium of exchange to a tool of state control, arguing that honest money — like gold or Bitcoin — preserves individual liberty by limiting arbitrary power. Whether you’re new to economics or well-versed in monetary theory, this book offers timeless insights that resonate deeply in today’s era of digital currency and decentralized systems.
