The point is roots!!!!!

Bartering happened long before money. Its the real reason why we use money anyway. Imagine Buying a car for 400 Fish. Disgusting...

It is true that the barter system preceeded money however, if you had something no one wanted you were out of luck or you had to find someone to trade what you had so that you could hopefully trade for something you needed. Are you following me? No? Good, this is how complicated the barter system can get. Eventually people traded pieces of metal (iron and bronze) and eventually gold and silver because everyone wanted these metals for their usefulness. This is the earliest form of what we could call money began. Eventually the entire system was standardized (coins) and that is how the monetary system began. I could go deeper if there is interest but I hope I settled the argument.

Thank you. I was too lazy to actually type that out.

yea. that good feeling when you see yourself in the mirror IS the reward. and you pay the gym. you think the person greeting you WANTS to help you get ripped? no. in fact no one wants to help anyone for free. to do so is just plain lunacy if the world didnt have WANTS thered be no need to do anything but eat and sleep. but thats cause you want to LIVE. no one WANTS to make you a smoothie dude. they do it cause they want to eat and buy a car. people do things for themselves. even einstein

Bartering is the same thing as buying.
Trading- but with different things.
