I did say money

Paper money has more value than clothe simply coz it's easier to carry and not everyone needs cloths.

fite me

yeah, but its not as durable as cloth

Common currency exists because barter depends on the needs of the person you're trading with

but if you are hoarding value, it means you are taking from others without giving back, which is a drain on the system

currency bypasses that requirement

IF I horde all the money is can the supplier has to make more so there is enough to sever the community. That causes inflation making your cash worth less. If you are just sitting on it, that is.

Why does he have to make more? No exchange has been made that requires that money, no?

If there isn't enough currency is circulation to serve the needs of the community the community will start to use something else untill they stop using the original altogether.

If everyone stopped spending nobody would be buying food

Okay let's break this down though

do i need to pay with money?

There's 1000 dollars in the economy. I hoard 100 dollars of it. Only 900 dollars can be traded

why can't i do something for someone in exchange for food?

^^

Why is the economy going to fail now?

You could, grenade

You can't charge more than someone is willing to pay

Or rather more than anyone is willing

But what reason do you have to do something for someone who has nothing you want?

Or you won't trade

That's the role money fills. It's essentially a shape-shifting good.

Currency would have to scale to what the economy allows

how does one hoard money?

that would imply doing things for people, but people giving you stuff for free

No

How does one hoard rocks?

you get paid for your labor, but you don't pay people for their labor

I sell a product for 10 dollars, I spend 1 dollar on food I spend 2 dollars on services. I keep the rest

I'm now not putting 7 dollars back in

so you produce more than you consume

Yes, and then you store it

and this is harmful....

Or "hoard"

I would say no

Yes it is harmful coz no monetary exists in a vacume. More money will be printed to inlfate your saving aways or people will start trading in things they can get their on.

why?

So poppy

go on

The harm would arguably be in printing more money
