Bitcoin Journey

What money is, and why it is broken

To understand what Bitcoin is worth, perspective decides everything. That is why we start with the question: what is money, and why do we need it as a society? We go into themes like inequality, energy and investing. Built on 1000+ hours of research, so you can draw your own conclusions.

It goes deep, but starts small: your first video is a minute and a half.
