Show Notes

"Rearden heard Bertram Scudder, outside the group, say to a girl who made some sound of indignation, “Don’t let him disturb you. You know, money is the root of all evil – and he’s the typical product of money.”

Rearden did not think that Francisco could have heard it, but he saw Francisco turning to them with a gravely courteous smile..." - Ayn Rand

Reading the famous speech by character Francisco D'Anconia in the novel "Atlas Shrugged" on the root of all money. This one had a profound effect on my understanding of economics and money in the beginning of my journey down the rabbit hole, that ultimately led me to Bitcoin.  Enjoy.
