“You know about digital currency from when you are a little kid...but they don’t have any way to deal with it, except now with bitcoin they can; they can understand the finite supply, they can understand that it’s uncensorable, nobody knows censorship like a kid.”

Date: Wednesday 21st July

Role: Author, StudentBitcoin can take a lot of time to understand, but the core foundations of sound money are relatively straightforward.For adults, learning about bitcoin often means unlearning the status quo. Understanding bitcoin challenges what we take for granted about the existing monetary system.While older generations may struggle with bitcoin being digital-only, a digital world is all that young people have ever known. Growing up with computers, the internet, and video game currencies makes understanding a purely digital decentralized monetary network a much easier task.So what do kids think of Bitcoin? And how can we teach the next generation?In this interview, I talk to author Michael Caras and student Violet Mauceri. We discuss how digital natives understand bitcoin, the properties of sound money, Bitcoin and Judaism.This episode’s sponsors:
