Money in a Nutshell

Money isn't just for economists or investors—it's one of humanity's most transformative technologies that affects every aspect of your life. Understanding why we need money and how it works gives you the power to make better financial decisions while revealing why it seems increasingly difficult to get ahead in today's economy.

Not all money is equally good—some holds value for centuries while others become worthless enough to craft wallets from. Understanding the essential properties of good money isn't just academic; it's your protection against ending up like Venezuelan refugees selling handicrafts made from their worthless currency.

From gold coins to digital dollars, our monetary system has undergone a radical transformation that few understand. Discover how the 1971 shift from gold-backed currency to pure fiat money has silently reshaped society, widened the wealth gap, and made it increasingly difficult for younger generations to build wealth. Learn why your savings are losing value and how the current monetary system may be working against your financial future.

For thousands of years, humanity searched for perfect money. We found gold, governments took it, and replaced it with something broken. Bitcoin is the digital answer to an ancient question—a mathematically-enforced promise that can't be broken by politics or power. It's not just better money; it's the inevitable next chapter in our financial evolution. The question isn't whether you'll eventually use Bitcoin—it's whether you'll understand why before most others do.
