I love to do research and sometimes the best places are the government or proxies that pretend they are the government like the Federal Reserve. Most of us are so focused on the hand puppets that we are shown that we forget to check what the puppeteers are using and doing.
Here is a Saint Louis Fed (FRED) search on Bitcoin. https://research.stlouisfed.org/ssi/search.php?q=bitcoin
There are dates on the side where you can find when the articles were written.
This is really good when you want to educate business or investors or financial advisors. It's also good for those considering ETFs when maybe they do not realize that Uncle Sam's banker fully understands what Bitcoin is, sometimes.
Oh wow they had a ZKP article not too long ago.

Yeah, it's nice to think that they are stupid but the reality is that they have access to unlimited resources (except bitcoin) and they can hire, support, tenure, research or.... produce misinformation.
So maybe this person knows what he is writing about or maybe he knows too much.

The first author appears to be a professor of economics and co-wrote a crypto book.
The other authors don't have links so I'd guess he wrote this as a guess post.

One gift I have is that I can read anything by anyone and get something valuable out of it. Another gift is being able to see very large models in text. The mathematics will be my weakness here but that's where the math explains the text and the logic, grammar and connections have to work in the equation and in the syntax.
Another lesson I've learned is not to read everything but to scan and grab. I usually grab the turd quickly.
This is where peer reviewed science gets is ass kicked.
Anyway, the wrong people will not be interested and the right people will dismantle the argument and the good old boy drinking club will reveal itself.
Finally, by pointing to things that I see smarter people will show me details that I, as a big picture guy, missed. Then I will deeply investigate the smaller big picture and again I will bark.

Bitcoin: Money or Financial Investment? - Page One Economics®
Bitcoin is just money as it has all the features of money

Money - Mon (one) + ey (eye)
Money itself is an archetypical appropriation of the wisdom of free trade. The all seeing eye on top of the pyramid (pyre -fire in the middle) USD and the green paper are meant to be token talisman that "gain energy" via exchange. In kabala and ancient India chakra the center is the heart and the color is green.
Even the famous 100 trillion dollar Zimbabwe dollar bill (bill < bull < Baal) is using three stones on top of each other. The three stones are an old Astrotheology symbol for the three aspects of divine. Masculine, Feminine and the child of union. All central Bank proponents are dark Occultists who believe in the manipulation of mankind as a duty to the very old religion of sacrifice, slavery and government ( Kubernetics+ mind (mental device)).
Bitcoin kind of teaches us the principal of un-money, too, where we default to an exchange that is controlled by kilowatts, mathematics and the witness of the exchange parties who have equal access to the entire token process.
