How Money Shapes Time, Innovation, and Our Future — Inspired by The Bitcoin Standard

In this video, we explore how money shapes our time preference, our culture, and the future we build — inspired by Chapter 5 of The Bitcoin Standard.

Why do some societies build cathedrals and monuments that last for centuries while others focus on instant consumption and short-term trends? It turns out, the answer often lies in the type of money we use.

When money is stable and holds its value, people are encouraged to save, invest, and plan long term. This leads to more innovation, stronger communities, and beautiful, lasting art and architecture. On the other hand, weak, inflationary money pushes us toward debt, immediate spending, and disposable culture.

We also explore the impact of sound money on innovation, cooperation, and even artistic flourishing — connecting ancient history to our modern choices today.
