In this deep dive, we're joined by Aaron van Wirdum for the second episode of our podcast series to explore the evolution of money, from barter to gold, and now to Bitcoin. We unpack the concept of neutral money—what it means, its properties, and why it could reshape the future of economics.
Aaron and Matty break down how gold emerged as the best form of money due to its divisibility, durability, and scarcity, but also explains its flaws. Discover the role of trust, fractional reserve banking, and how fiat currencies came to dominate. We also delve into the Austrian economics' regression theorem and discuss how Bitcoin challenges these traditional monetary concepts.
Stay tuned as we discuss the denationalization of money and how a fixed-supply, global currency could disrupt everything we know about modern economies. Could Bitcoin really be the neutral money we’ve been waiting for?
