Yeah, and he's remarkably accurate: if bitcoin is money, a lot (he says "all" but that's pushing it) of monetary economics goes all the window.

I don't actually agree, I'm not even sure what monetary theory he thinks needs to be thrown out... there's plenty of neoclassical models that show non zero equilibrium price of a bitcoin-like asset... I've covered some of them in previous posts

Yep. That's exactly it. At least he can keep shining that Nobel medal, which is probably made out of aluminum.
