Session
The act of exchange between two parties is fundamental to life.
I argue that understanding the value of exchange is essential to grasp the monumental impact that Bitcoin will have on the future of the human species. I use Austrian Economics as a theoretical framework to navigate this topic.
"The Value of Exchange" is a talk that explores how exchange drives our evolution over time and how it is a core principle in all major cultures, religions, and societies. It shows that exchange transcends the material and extends beyond time.
