Politics is a comedy show that writes its own jokes, and it’s getting more amusing every day…In a hilarious gaffe that rolls humor and irony into one revealing moment, the millennial politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez humiliated herself on Instagram recently when she lauded the work of “famed economist Milton Keynes.”

How embarrassing!If you’re not aware of who Milton Friedman or John Maynard Keynes are, that’s fine, because you’re probably not going around claiming to be an expert in economics. That’s right.While AOC rose to fame parading herself as an economic know-it-all, she still fails to get even the most elementary facts straight. 

Not unlike how Bitcoin was quickly blacklisted by Keynesians and mainstream media, until they were forced to acknowledge its potential, and now look: blockchain tech is revolutionizing the very nature of money, and changing the lives of millions of people through the greatest wealth transfer of our time.  

The crossroads between AOC ‘s epic intellectual ignorance and the future of cryptocurrency cannot be more relevant, and it’s something I explored in greater detail in my walk and talk from Anarchapulco.
