As the Hypocrite sought to think twice, curiosity kicked in further. I wanted to know what really is “MONEY” does it really have value, why is this the means of Exchange. Several other questions crossed my mind...........
To truly understand these questions and settle my already puzzling mind, I heard the mad scientist say to me. If you can't simply explain it you just don't understand it enough" .I laughed at my thought, years after his death I am still a slave to this words
I traveled backward into the time space continuum and these where my findings
I began to see that money has always been a part of us. It only has expressed itself in various ways but the core concept has always been the same. Farther into the stone ages I saw that man has since saw a need to facilitate a form of exchange to satisfy his needs here again conforming to the saying “No man is an Island”, the insufficiency of man became glaring i.e. no one man can truly be as sole provider of all he needs hence the birth of the first form of exchange Trade by Barter
As my understanding gained enlightenment knowing the necessity of man to make an exchange to satisfy his needs so also the man of old continued to invent ways to move towards efficiency in order auto correct the uncertainties of the previous era. As the inconsistency of the former grew, We saw a need to engage in the use of Commodity that was easy acceptable by all. This amazing innovation by Stone Man X was a revolutionary one. It reduced the time spent on trade, reduced stress and thus improved efficiency
Moving through the time space continuum I observe lots of amazing changes in all other aspects of life a critical example was in the distribution of population across the world. A challenging factor
Presents itself, there were variations of continents; demarcation of territories, boarders, oceans lots more became more defined. Obsolete became the outstanding innovative idea of stone man X. As Man had to travel long distance, he again had to find a means of exchange that can be widely acceptable by his counterpart across the physical barriers, long and hard he thought after engaging in time consuming and stressful trade which mostly proven ineffective like in the first era.
These were their thought why not engage trade in a unit that has both intrinsic value and also of interest to all party notwithstanding our origin. The idea to make exchange in precious metal became predominant over this Era.
Change being the only constant in our human race and a causative agent in each evolution ushered in a new form of exchange never seen before or thought about by the men of old. It saw a difference in thought process………………………………………………
