 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-and-austrian-economics">Bitcoin and Austrian Economics</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, Bitcoin is known as the result of many Austrian Economic principles applied to the idea of money. Ludwig Von Mises is a prominent name in precisely describing inflation and its nefarious effects on worldwide economies.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Therefore, Bitcoin surges as a financial tool theoretically capable of addressing these issues and supposedly acts as an inflation hedge. This explains the relation between Renato Moicano’s speech at the UFC 300 and his request regarding the $300,000 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="bonus" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bonus.html">bonus</a>.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, despite the original vision Satoshi Nakamoto described as “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” BTC faces challenges being a medium of exchange that people can use. For example, the average network fees have again reached the same level as the world’s average daily income. Finbold reported Bitcoin average fees costing a working day worldwide, at a 4-month record high.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Yet, Bitcoin enthusiasts like the UFC 300 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="fighter" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/fighter.html">fighter</a>, Renato Moicano, continue to keep this vision alive, using BTC as money. The question now remains if the Ultimate Fighting Championship organization will further agree to make payments using the leading cryptocurrency.</p>
