This is the first episode of Square 1 season 1 where we talk to Andy Tudhope. Andy is a hacker-anthropologist and comes to the table with incredibly deep insights on the history of money, it's relevance to society, and how cryptocurrency continues to evolve this ancient form of communication.
Takeaways:
The moment language appeared in history is the singularity for humankind.
Money precedes written language.
The concept of money is fundamentally "the water in which we swim" and requires awareness (please see David Foster Wallaces speech).
Cryptocurrency is an evolution to the order of language, in order to push the boundaries of the infinite game.
