Thanks for the tip! People looking into this topic might be interested in reading this article: Vandiver, J. (2024). Hard men, hard money, hardening right: Bitcoin, peter thiel, and schmittian states of exception. In Far-Right Newspeak and the Future of Liberal Democracy (pp. 205-230). Routledge.

It’s a great book, good work!
