About this episode
This episode explores the history of money from cowrie shells to cryptocurrency, revealing its less solid nature.
Yes -- today is all about money. I could probably do dozens of episodes about this topic, but in this one I’m sharing a bit of the history of money -- from cowrie shells to crypto. And along the way, we might start to see that money isn’t quite as ‘solid’ as we think it is.
