A groundbreaking new answer to one of humanity's big mysteries - and what it means about the nature (and future) of money
“This over-developed brain wiring supercharged our interest in scarce assets and our drive to obtain them. Behaviorally, this may have amounted to making us weirdos who collected seashells, simply because we couldn’t help but value their special rarity. But as we’ll explore, that odd behavioral quirk may have made all the difference for our species.” — Jesse Myers
Could humanity's success stem not from raw intellect or physical prowess, but from an odd fixation on scarce items?
This article delves into Jesse Myers’ provocative analysis of prehistoric evidence, suggesting that the emergence of money—and its profound influence on civilization—might be an evolutionary cornerstone as vital to human existence as any biological trait.
It explores how the abstract concept of value, rooted in our species’ cognitive evolution, could reshape our understanding of monetary systems and their enduring role in shaping the future of human societies.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has expressed her view that Bitcoin serves as a means to strip governments of their authority. According to Truss, bureaucrats are well aware that Bitcoin poses a threat to their power, which explains their animosity towards it.
This perspective is rooted in the notion that money predates the state, and Bitcoin's existence further separates the two, ultimately undermining the state's control.
In essence, Bitcoin's decentralized nature has the potential to render the state obsolete.

* BC (Before Christ): A dating system used to label years before the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. For example, 500 BC refers to a year 500 years before that event.
* AD (Anno Domini, “In the Year of Our Lord”): Marks years after the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. For instance, AD 2025 is 2025 years after that point. Note that today, April 10, 2025, would be AD 2025 in this system.
* AB (After Bitcoin): Bitcoin was introduced with its genesis block on January 3, 2009. So, if we take “AB” as “After Bitcoin,” today (April 10, 2025) would be approximately AB 16 (16 years since 2009).
I have been in the Bitcoin world for approximately AB 2.83 to AB 16.28—a span of about 13.45 years.
