Track 1 treated money as one thing. In reality, modern money has split into 2 distinct forms, currency, a high frequency medium of exchange, and capital, a long duration store of value. This course extends salability into 3 axes, time, space and scale, and places assets on a holding duration spectrum, from a weak currency measured in weeks to Bitcoin measured in generations. I explain why Bitcoin's absolute scarcity makes it uniquely suited to be a long duration store of value, and how monetary demand tends to concentrate in the most salable good available.
