Nik Bhatia welcomes Bitcoin anthropologist Natalie Smolenski to explore the profound connection between #Bitcoin, human liberty, and peaceful society through an anthropological lens.
Natalie unveils how the historical relationship between money and state has shaped human cooperation, and why Bitcoin represents a transformative technology of peace.
They examine the evolution of monetary systems, Bitcoin's unique position as a jurisdictional commodity money, and its potential to reduce societal violence through voluntary exchange.
Together, they chart a vision for how Bitcoin's technological revolution can reignite the human spirit of liberty and peaceful cooperation in an increasingly divided world.
