"What is money? That is the beginning of the real rabbit hole.” Like the process of going bankrupt, how fiat money inflates, and what it feels like to learn Bitcoin... it happens gradually, then suddenly. We take a break today before getting back into Money, bitcoin & Time, by beginning the awesome series at unchained-captial.com by Parker Lewis that is hitting major topics around Bitcoin and its supposed "failures" one at a time.  A really fun and well written series that's going to inspire great discussion for the show!
