17 - A Bankless Nation (Part 1)

<p>Episode: #17<br /> June 15, 2020</p> <p>An alien visits earth. He sees our cities, our governments, our moral codes. He's curious, "What's are you trying to do here?" he asks the humans. </p> <p>The humans respond: "We're trying to get coordinated".</p> <p>Coordination is how humanity rose above the animals. Built the pyramids. Put a man on the moon.</p> <p>We've coordinated as hunter-gather societies in tribes. As agrarian societies in kingdoms. As industrial societies in nation states.</p> <p>And now...as information societies in digital nations like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This. Changes. Everything. </p> <p><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Covered:</span></p> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li>Uh...why are we here?
