<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Austrian economics is a very common topic of discussion and study within the bitcoin community. Being the base economic theory upon which we find bitcoin resting, it makes sense that understanding this would be a primary lead for someone to get into bitcoin. Josef Tětek, one of our regular contributors here at</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin Magazine</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, is an example of this. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tětek has written some fantastic articles for us, including “</span><a href= "https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/financial-data-private-bitcoin-tips"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your Financial Data Is Not Private, Bitcoin Can Fix That</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” “</span><a href= "https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/why-bitcoin-will-rejuvenate-hope"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s Why Bitcoin Will Rejuvenate Your Hope In Life,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” and “</span><a href= "https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-is-sustainable-money-europe"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin Is The Sustainable Money Europe Deserves.</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">”  Bullish on both bitcoin and on life, Tětek maintains an optimistic outlook that bears witness to the good bitcoin is capable of doing. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our interview, we discussed how his foundations in Austrian economics lead him to Bitcoin, and how the reverse is often true of bitcoiners.
