The "What is Money?" Show

Bitcoin Hits All-Time High: A Once in a Species Breakthrough w/ Jesse Myers (WiM586)

Episode Summary

Jesse Meyers joins me to explore the origins of money as a once-in-a-species breakthrough in human coordination, how scarcity forms the basis of moral structure, and why money serves as the keystone of civilization. We discuss the evolution of money across history, the development of tools and natural language, how Bitcoin has perfected scarcity, why Bitcoin is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the bright orange future ahead. Jesse Myers is the co-founder and COO of Onramp, a Bitcoin financial services company, built on Multi-Institution Custody.
