## Resource

Conza joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about the praxeological foundations of money, explaining why Bitcoin is a rivalrous digital commodity on an open source monetary network rather than a database for storing arbitrary data. The conversation covers the two problems money solves, why economic literacy among Bitcoin developers matters, and the case for BIP 110 and the Cat fork as tools to preserve Bitcoin's quality as money against spam and ordinals.
