Bitcoin Basics Series Episode 3. In this episode we examine what constitutes good money, examining monetary history with an eye on what produces the ultimate money–Bitcoin. We draw a contrast between hyperinflated and sound money, as well as unpack what monetary tools are most prone to work in the digital age. Josh & Dan are joined throughout this series by Seb Bunney and DazBea of Looking Glass Education.
