[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3057474, member: 77814"]The key is that "cash/money" is very specific. Very entrenched in modern society. If one wants "money" they have to convert commodities to money in order to buy something else; this is excluding forms of bartering etc. But it's not always guaranteed someone will want to barter another commodity for their commodity; whereas "money" is usually always accepted. This includes Gold, silver, fish, etc. Of course the further you get away from a stable commodity such as gold, then it has a shelf-life which affects it's money valuation and barter valuation. Of course, sometimes you can bury a commodity such as eggs in the backyard in the dirt. After a year it would have no value to most people, but if you have ever been to Japan it is a delicacy. I'm glad I can hide behind being a Vegan from time to time.[/QUOTE]
