no matter how you come at it, the functions of money MoE, UoA, and SoV are unseperatable.
so got that
Method of Control, that’s not a formal property of money, it’s an accidental use not an inherent.
ie. btc is money, and u can’t control shit with it.
i can pick up a stone, and bash someone with it, but bashing is not an inherent property of the stone.
A stone has properties, ie it's dense, hard & relatively durable.
A stone can perform many functions, one of those is bashing someone over the head.
If I also use a stone to grind grain or sharpen a knife, it's hardly an accident.
like I said, I’m using classical Aristotelian terminology.
property, function, attributes, powers, accident, necessity: these words once meant something precise, common parlance has blunted the edge of discourse
accident means it could be some other way. not of necessity
like your example, it could grind grain or sharpen a stone, or it could not. what you do with it is an accident, not of necessity.
money can be used to control, or not.
thus, it’s an accident
not in the clumsy meaning of “happened accidentally”
but meaning it is an accidental attribute.
like having brown hair, it’s an attribute of my hair, but it could have been different.
i am 6’ tall, but i could have been 5’11” or 6’1”
in the singular act of human beings exchanging through a medium, money is brought into existence: MoE, SoV, UoA occur necessarily, could not be any other way
if that doesnt make sense to you, i can’t explain it any simpler
