"Hoppe doesn’t believe bitcoin is money and has never been a fan of the cryptocurrency at least in public." Is this true?

I like Hoppe, but in general the methodology of being a libertarian in academia seems to lead to inconsistencies that aren't exactly minor. The incentives aren't there for course correction compared to a donation based model. With modern technology, academia and think tanks should be relics if libertarians are going to be on the cutting edge of public reasoning.
