Money as a Transitive value.

I recently ran a poll on Instagram asking what is money?

Is it the currency we hold in our hands?

Is it the paper we hold in our pockets?

Most answers consisted of the fact that it is something we truly need. IF WE'RE BROKE NOBODY WILL SUSTAIN US.

Maybe it's just something we earn when we are employed or working for an hourly billing rate.

This gave me an idea what if we look at money not as a means of buying a goods but as a form of goods itself.

Money is one of the most complex forms of barter system that man has invented and it's coupled by 3 basic layers.

Measurement! Medium! and Standard!

A measurement of the value a goods provided to us by the producer for Eg- Going to college for 4 year period requires 4-8 lakhs INR for many Indian Universities and then an Avg. placement for the student is that of 3-5 lakh per annum (although getting placed is almost 10% chance & it's a different story altogether)

So the cost of education and the return in the form of placement becomes a form of Measurement for money.

Medium - If you were to go to your nearest Grocer's and ask for 1kg of different vegetables he'll ask you to wash his car for him for the next 3 days if the concept of money wasn't existing. So by definition money is the medium of all the services you provide and the goods you consume.

Standard - So if the goods produced by you is also being produced by the someone else then the standard measurement of your goods is brought down in value and how you leverage it is done by quality compliance.

So money inherently doesn't hold any value in its physical form rather it's value is determined by the people who veto over it by a centralized form of control.

If money can't attain any value so why is it that people can't live without it, because of the misrepresentation or ill educated advising that money is bad or all evil stems from money.

Money is transitive in nature, It shifts it's value based on who benefits from it and how do they benefit. It is a transactional means or medium for the ones that have learnt to build valuable systems and those who consume it.

In a simple form every business provides you with lifestyle-shift/convenience, entertainment/stimulation, growth/money saving/learning.

And if you understood this, then you know who sits at the top of value creation pyramid.

ENTREPRENEURS & INVESTORS.

So by any means if you can figure out an effective system to create value for anybody in this world, you'll find a way to make money. You just have to be effective in it's execution.
