Read With Me: Andreas Antonopoulos – “The Internet of Money” Chapter 9: Money as a Content Type

By Brian in Chicago on December 22, 2022 • ( 1 )

I first shared this in 2019, and recently revisited some of the videos. It’s just as informative and transformative now as it was then.

As I began reading, “The Internet of Money” back in 2019, I started understanding the underlying fundamentals of bitcoin (and decentralized cryptocurrencies) in a much more real-world context. Bitcoin is not just digital money- it’s an underlying technology than enables human behavior in a way we’ve not had, on a scale we’ve not had…ever. It is these reasons that gets me so excited for bitcoin. It is not only an expression of value, it is an expression of human sovereignty and cooperation that allows for anyone, and everyone, to participate, and in a non-coercive way.

The book is composed of individual talks Andreas gave, and many of them have an accompanying video. You can also view the series here

Enjoy, and be well Everyone. Go bitcoin.

From Chapter 9: Money as a Content Type

In this talk, Andreas discusses the evolution of technology along a “grand arc”, from grandiosity, to… grandparents. He also looks at how bitcoin expresses money as a content type, changing the nature of payments into a form of generic communication. This talk was delivered on November 29th 2014 for the BitcoinSouth conference at the Millennium Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand.
