The foundation the whole curriculum stands on: what money actually is, why some goods become money and others don't, and why sound money changes how you plan for the future.
Before Bitcoin can make sense, money itself has to be understood. Money is not wealth, it is a claim on value you already created through your own time and effort. This course covers why some goods become money and others fail, a concept called salability, and why sound money lowers time preference and rewards saving over spending. It closes with the 80,000 hours problem: why almost nobody spends any real time learning how to keep the money they spend a working lifetime earning. This is educational content, not financial advice.
