KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It is never too late to Bitcoin. Most people don’t buy Bitcoin as soon as they hear about it, it takes time to do the research and discover the knowledge of what it actually is. 
  • Understanding final settlements is a way of differentiating e-transfers from digital money
  • Money is a technology that humans have put in place and it’s constantly evolving. It's a technology to solve the trade problem. We don’t still use Roman gold coins today. It’s always changing as we develop.
  • What is money? It has to be durable, portable, divisible, uniform, acceptable, and there has to be a limited supply. When the currency stops fulfilling these criteria we move in to the next thing.
  • Cost of government programs actually hinder people lot more than the help they intend to provide. Because they need to print money to pay for those programs as a result of which everything becomes more expensive
