How did a 200 year old empire perform economic trade with spoons and gold dust?

Today’s guest on the show is Stefan Briggs who joins me to talk about how helping out a friend clear an attic led him down an incredible rabbit hole of sound money and bitcoin.

Who were the Asante empire and what were they using to perform economic trade for 200 years?

Why did Stefan feel a need to write up an article about his discovery and what parallels does he draw between bitcoin and gold dust?

How did Stefan fall into the Bitcoin Rabbit hole and why did he quit his corporate career?

Huge thank you to Stefan for stepping up and contributing to Bitcoin education!
