Quite curious on @lynaldencontact take on this article and situation. Lyn wrote "Broken Money" - which in my opinion is leagues better than Saifedean's "The Bitcoin Standard" which is quite similar in that both books lay out the history of money, the problems with fiat, the case for hard money, and the rationale for Bitcoin. In her book, and elsewhere, Lyn says that she spends much time in Egypt with family. Being a macroeconomic expert with Egyptian heritage, she will have a very good perspective on this.
