In short: How did we move from physical coins to digital consensus? This lecture explores the deep relationship between mathematics and money, tracing our financial history through the lens of reserve currencies in a fiat world.

Professor D’Maris Coffman examines the structural evolution of currency, specifically focusing on how reserve currencies function within modern fiat systems. The discussion is situated within a broader historical arc that connects early coinage to contemporary cryptocurrencies.

The presentation highlights the intersection of mathematics and finance as a primary driver of monetary history. By understanding these underlying protocols, we can better grasp the mechanics of global economic stability and the transition toward decentralized consensus.
