Money is a very simple concept. But most people don't understand it. Great article.
Money is simply something useful for storing and exchanging value. That’s it.
People have used stones, glass beads, salt, cattle, seashells, gold, silver, and other commodities as money at different times.
Think of money as a claim on human time. It’s like stored life or energy.
Unfortunately, today most of humanity thoughtlessly accepts whatever worthless digital and paper scrips their governments give them as money.
However, money does not need to come from the government. That’s a total misnomer that the average person has been hoodwinked into believing.
Rampant currency debasement is an unstoppable trend already in motion and accelerating. Those entrusting their life savings in government currencies will soon experience a harsh economic reality check.
