I'm noticing that there is a massive generational shift in how we're seeing currency and the thing

that lives under currency, which is value. Our parents' generation was more about productivity.

Value was in what you could build, working hard. And it feels to me like there's a massive shift happening right now that value is in how

things make us feel.

Hi, welcome back to the Personality Hacker podcast. My name is Joel Mark Witt. And I'm Antonio

Dodge. I told you something a couple years ago, Antonio, that you were like, I don't understand

this comment. I said, currency is the killer app. I don't understand the concept of a killer app. That's actually the part that's complicated for me. Every time you get onto something, you go, that's the killer app. And I'm like, what does that even mean? You never really heard that in like popular, like culture, like the killer app, like the killer application of this thing, this tool, this process, this. I know, but it's not intuitive for me for some reason. I don't like, for some reason when something is a killer app that doesn't like compute for me. It doesn't, it doesn't make immediate sense. And usually things in the zeitgeist make immediate sense to me. So then I always have to pause and try to think it through and go like, what does that mean? Okay. What about

self-regulation is the killer app of personality types? That I understand. So you do

understand the concept of a killer app. But only if it makes sense. So when you say currency is the

killer app, it's like the killer application of what all human

interaction because all humans have to transact on a a money channel like we we can't get by without

some kind of a value exchange with each other we have to be able to trade something I value in a, in a

representative form. The barter system is a good way to know this. If I grow tomatoes, I have to

find people that want tomatoes to trade them. Or I can go to market and sell those tomatoes and put it

into a coin. And now this coin can buy anything. Everybody accepts that coin. Only a few people

will accept tomatoes. So a currency allows me to have as much interoperability with the value that's created in the world. Okay. So what did you say that currency was the killer app of? I just think it's the killer app, period. Well, the reason why it doesn't make intuitive sense to me is because I don't understand what it's the killer application of. Gotcha. Okay. Well, I mean, it's like the killer app among all apps is kind of what I say.

Of just humanness.

All the applications of the world. Let me throw you a bone here. Like you can say the English language is the killer app. It's like maybe, but there's a lot of other languages that do things maybe be better than the English language. I don't know if you could say English is better than all of them.

I would not say that.

As a language, right?

I would say it's got it definitely. in the English language. I don't know if you could say English is better than all of them.

I would not say that. As a language, right? I would say it's got it, definitely, it has its
