Show Notes

"A deflationary monetary system of absolute hard money acts as a mirror for value creation. It is a compass to guide us toward a better economic path." - Aaron Segal

From Bitcoin Magazine, we hit a fantastic piece on the nature of money as a tool for reducing informational entropy. Why a finite supply money, is ultimately the most pure form of money able to translate technological innovation into decreased uncertainty in an economic system. Don't miss Segal's "Bitcoin Information Theory"
