We sat down with the infinitely curious Misir Mahmudov to explore what 'Money' is and how Bitcoin scores as a money. We touch on a whole score of things such as fascinating previous forms of money, inflation vs deflation and whether BTC is better suited to serve as a store of value or a means of exchange. Misir's way of simplifying complex themes and using comprehensible examples is why we were so desperate to sit down and have a chat with him. Hope you guys enjoy this one!  (apologies for the audio imperfections; we tried our best to soothe them)
