They see privacy as one of the biggest benefits for using crypto for payments. I found this interesting, because traditionally crypto has not been very good at privacy. In close second are speed & cost, something crypto has always been excellent at.

The biggest barriers to adoption are price volatility and complexities around accounting and controls.

From the Spotify leak - I've been exposed for having a 7 hour long playlist with only one song on it. It helps me do deep focused work, don't ask me why.

The word “salary” comes from salt, which was so valuable in Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it.

Most currencies are named after weights of precious metals, e.g. the British “pound” was originally a pound of silver, a "shekel" about 12 grams, and so on.

The origin of the dollar sign $ is likely from combining PS for peso into a single symbol, but we aren't completely sure.

The American dollar was named after the Spanish dollar, which was an official currency in the US until 1857. The word “dollar” traces back to the Bohemian “Joachimsthaler” coins, shortened to “thaler,” which became “dollar” in English.

The first coins were likely minted around 600 BCE in modern Turkey. You can also find them for sale for 5% the price of a floor cryptopunk.

The word “money” comes from the Latin Moneta, an epithet for the Roman goddess Juno, whose temple was used for minting coins. Juno is also the name of my sister's dog.

The idea that money evolved as a way to fix the limitations of barter is a myth. Historical evidence shows early societies relied on credit, debt, and social ties, not direct trade. So money likely evolved as a way to represent credit, not fix barter.
