The Evolution of Money: Have you ever wondered what money truly is and where it originated? In a recent video, I explain the evolution of money, from bartering and commodity trading with chickens, to gold coins and paper money. I also explain why the paper currency we use today will eventually go to zero.
If you want to make money, you need to understand it. I highly recommend watching the full video until the end, to learn the facts about money they never taught you in school! You can find the video at the top of this page or on my YouTube channel.
Money is a complex topic, but the fundamentals are actually quite simple. However, the facts are often made deliberately complicated, because many so-called elites would prefer to keep the knowledge to themselves. In this article, I will explain the evolution of money, how it came about, and where it is going.
I want to get this information out to as many people as possible. But I need your help to do it. If you want to ensure everyone learns the truth about the monetary system, please consider sharing this article on your social media pages. The more people that understand this, the easier it will be to resist what is coming.
1. The Evolution of Money: From Barter To Gold
The first step in the evolution of money was barter. Barter is simply swapping one good or service for another. Swapping wheat for cloth, etc. The problem with barter, however, is that you may not have the item that the other party wants. This led to commodities being used as a medium of exchange. For example, salt was used in trade. While the other party might not want more salt, they knew there would be someone willing to accept it in future exchanges.
Overtime, weaker commodity money died off, while stronger commodity money survived. The commodity money that was most valued had the following qualities, it was: portable; durable; divisible; and one unit of it was worth the same as another. Precious metals, particularly gold and silver, best fit those criteria and therefore survived and became money around the world.
2. The Evolution of Money: Government Currency
People didn’t want to store gold at home, so many people stored their gold in a bank. Over time, banks began issuing claim cheques on gold. People started trading these claim cheques with each other rather than the gold itself. Because people used these claim cheques as money, most people didn’t withdraw their physical gold that often.
The banks therefore realised they could lend the gold out and make a profit on it. When large numbers of people did try to withdraw from a particular bank, that bank would fail. This caused a loss of trust in the banks.
Eventually, governments took on the role of holding the gold and printed their own currency. But they began printing more paper currency than they had gold. Because of this, they were unable to pay back the gold due. This led to governments deciding to remove the gold backing the currency entirely. They simply declared that the currency had value because they said it did!
Now they could print as much currency as they liked! The law of supply and demand has meant that the purchasing power of currency has gone down since gold backing was first removed. It will keep going down until it is worth nothing, or close to nothing, in the long term.
3. The Evolution of Money: The Great Reset And CBDCs
As if having a bit of paper that’s purchasing power is continually going down wasn’t bad enough, powerful people want to make things worse! As part of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset, they want to get rid of cash. They want to bring in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for every nation. This will mean that your money can be monitored and controlled at all times.
They would like to control what you can buy, and how much you can buy, of certain goods. They want to control the number of flights you can take. They want to be able to switch off your money, just like they can ban your social media accounts now. With a centralised digital currency, they will be able to do all this and more!
