About

Bitcoin sits at the intersection of money, energy, technology, and politics. Too many people still treat it only as a trading vehicle.

My name is Dr. Murray Rudd: I treat Bitcoin as a complex system. I am a PhD institutional / applied economist and a former university professor who now works on Bitcoin and emerging technologies, a pivot reflected in my publication record.

I was Science Advisor at Satoshi Action Education for almost 3 years, up to late-2025.

My approach differs from most Bitcoin commentary: instead of assuming fixed economic laws or relying on ideology, I draw on institutional economics, pragmatic reasoning, and decision-making under deep uncertainty. I look at how Bitcoin behaves in real-world systems - financial, political, technological, and social - and how those systems shape the outcomes people actually care about.

I help people build two things: (1) the capacity to think clearly about Bitcoin’s role in your world; and (2) access to credible information you can actually use.
