A History of Currency: Explained

Sure, we’ve all heard of Bitcoin. But why should I learn about it? Some people think cryptocurrency is just an unregulated way to purchase illegal or suspect goods and services: think college kids buying fake ID’s. Others view it as a dangerous threat to systems of centralized trust, i.e the government and banks. Still others see it as a fad, a form of money that while is interesting in its technological makeup, will fade in popularity because of its wild fluctuations, wild-west-like existence, and public mistrust of computer programs securing trust-based exchanges.  Michelle takes a deeper dive into this discussion and provides insights on why you should be learning more on this subject.
