Show Notes

"The precursors of money, along with language, enabled early modern humans to solve problems of cooperation that other animals cannot – including problems of reciprocal altruism, kin altruism, and the mitigation of aggression. These precursors shared with non-fiat currencies very specific characteristics – they were not merely symbolic or decorative objects." - Nick Szabo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message
