What are the primary properties to consider for a unit of exchange or a “money”?

-Scarcity? Can someone or a govt make it? Examples like Oil, gold, property, grain, art, paper money.

-divisible? (property & art aren’t & Gold isnt great)

-durable? (Example -Paper vs gold)

-recognizable? (Example -Art is subjective. Gold requires some expertise)

-Portable? (Gold, real estate)

-Fungibility & liquidity? (How quickly can you find a buyer? Ie: Cash or gold is better than art or real-estate)

Nothing wrong with governments make it! it's when the private bankers make it and charge interest. Like Abraham Lincoln, William Garfield, William Mckinly, JFK, Tsar Alexandre, Tsar Nicolas, Premier William Aberhart discovered. #Fiat #social #national #interest #credit
