This is the incredible story of money — not just as currency, but as a force that shaped civilization, powered empires, and is now being reimagined in code.
In this eye-opening documentary, we trace the entire evolution of money, starting with ancient barter systems, the invention of coins, and the rise of paper currencies — all the way to the digital revolution of credit cards, Bitcoin, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
Whoever introduced money should be found and killed again if they are dead. Money sucks! It doesnt make sense to focus all your life looking for papers, to get you things that even when you die nothing will follow you. It created the gap between the extremely rich and the extremely poor.

What gives gold or silver value? It’s not easily replicated/counterfeit, doesn’t corrode and finite. Though digging new gold is a form of counterfeit.

@samuelo.4298Bartering was not the first form of economic exchange. According to anthropological evidence, this is a myth.
