Money is a system of cooperation that humans would "invent" again in a vacuum. 1. Mankind was created with a nature of inventive problem solving, ever since we were cast out of the garden to fend for ourselves. 2. Beyond raising base goods, Mankind immediately ran into the problem of cooperating in the scalable transmutation of those goods into a rich economy that lifted everyone up. 3. Crossing the chasm between barter to a society of money by applying our inventive problem solving to the base goods that we were bartering with, eventually and iteratively arriving at an economy based on a system of gold money. 4. As society grew and our engineering/problem solving improved, computer science emerged, economies became networked, and #Bitcoin was eventually "invented". We would discover/invent #Bitcoin again in a vacuum, the same way we would discover/invent a system of Gold. View quoted note β†’
