Bitcoin isn't just a new technology, but the logical conclusion of "Monetary Darwinism". From the genetic mutations that gave Homo sapiens a cognitive edge in perceiving scarcity to the reason why elite business graduates often dismiss Bitcoin, Jesse Myers joins Rob Wallace for a conversation covers the past, present, and future of our species’ relationship with money.

Jesse Myers, head of Bitcoin strategy at SmarterWeb, Stanford MBA, and the mind behind the "Once in a Species" blog, dives deep into the intersection of neuroscience, human evolution, and the burgeoning "Bitcoin Treasury Company" model that is transforming global finance.

• Why treasury companies could eventually hold up to 50% of all Bitcoin
