Money. We all use it. But is it real? I mean, you can touch a coin or bill, but who decided thats worth anything? And what about all those 1s and 0s getting swapped and traded by computers thousands of times per second? How are those worth anything? We trace the history of money, from physical barter to bitcoin, and discover that money isnt just a lie we all agree to share, its been built on the back of technology and invention for millennia.
