In this episode, we delve into the philosophical question of what exactly is money. As we explore the world of global trade and cryptocurrency, we ask ourselves not only what money is but also how we arrived at our current monetary systems. Through metaphors and anecdotes, we examine money as a placeholder for energy, highlighting how time, labor, and ideas are exchanged in our economic system.

We discuss the importance of valuing our own energy and time, urging listeners to reconsider how they spend their labor and time. Through amusing stories from the DIY community, we highlight the irony of spending more time and resources on hobbies than the monetary savings achieved. This conversation invites introspection on how we, as individuals, can better appreciate and allocate our time and energy.

Finally, the episode explores deeper into personal values, asking the profound question of what holds more value to us than money. Embarking on this introspective journey can offer insights into our personal growth and the choices we make. By examining our energetic interactions, thoughts, and priorities, we start to understand the role they play in our lives, inviting listeners to a future where energy is valued alongside money.
