In this first part, we explore what defines the essence of money and its evolution through fascinating historical anecdotes, while describing the phases that led to today's modern monetary system. We also discuss why gold is "God's own money", the difference between investing in silver and gold, money VS currency and much more.

This episode is fundamental to understand today's financial system and where we are heading in the near future.

Jan Longeval is a financial advisor and asset manager with more than 35 years of experience in the financial industry, having held management and board member positions at Bank Degroof Petercam, one of Belgium's leading private banks.

Jan is also the author of the best seller book "God dobbelt niet op de beurs" and recently published "Heavy Metal" which we address during our conversation (available on bol.com) and lecturer at the Vlerick Business School.
