oga you are seeing the 'stories' as blog posts.

That is not what I implied when I say stories. In fact, blog posts are the least things I'm talking about.

When I say stories, I'm talking about ideology in our collective minds.

For instance, you can weave stories to human minds and tell them that if they give you 10% of their earnings, God will bless them.

They will accept and believe that story and give you the 10% in the hope of getting a better tomorrow.

But you can't tell a monkey to give you a banana with that same story with the promise of getting a greater return tomorrow.

The concept of corporations is a story in our collective minds. We weave these stories and believe in them.

But a monkey will never believe it, so it is useless to it.

I'm not saying stories in terms of blog posts. I'm using the term figuratively to show how ideology in our collective mind can bring non-existent things to life.

For instance, money as it is is useless. You can't eat the paper. You can't do anything with it.

But our beliefs in it made it valuable. This belief is what I called a story

There are so many things you can’t eat that are valuable and occur naturally in nature.
You should know the history of why trade and barter was converted to currencies.

Maynman:
All the ideologies were brought by blogs and websites.
Google don’t own any content, it’s only a search engine.
And when we think of google as a corporation we also think of his parent company. Because google can’t take any decision without it.

all the ideology are brought by blog post?

You think the idea behind money is by blog posts? You think the ideology begind the concept of God is by blog post?

Can you read and comprehend at all or you are just waiting to type blog posts all over the place?

Bros I'm a content creator and a freelance search engine optimization writer. I write blog posts that search engines feed on.

I know a lot more about blog posts than you can imagine.

you are funny.


Money is nothing but faith. Faith that the next person will accept it and give you what you want.

Try taking your N50 note to the USA and use it to buy something.

Aside that, it is a worthless piece of paper.

Money is not faith.
Money is a currency.
It evolve from trade and barter into cowries into coins and into paper money .

Paper is not money because it’s a paper. Why don’t you use all papers to pay for bills? Why use a specific currency that was printed into a paper?

lolz.

You change your currency when you travel to other countries because they wouldn't accept it as money.

They have no faith in it. They don't believe that if they accept it from you, other people will accept it from them.

That's primarily why you change your currency.

The coins used by Jesus cannot be used to purchase things today because no one have faith in them.

The same way you can't use that old N10 note to buy something today. It's still a currency but people no longer believe in it.

Some of us understand things they teach us in school. Not only cram answers to write in exams

Olodo.
Since money is paper and useless, why don’t you use any paper to change it to another currency? Why do you have to use a currency of a particular country to exchange with a currency of another country? If your currency has no value will they ever change it? Will they change a paper into their currency ?
Currency evolved from trade and barter.
How did they buy and sell goods and services before your Jesus was born?
This is what happens when you reason from religion.

they were able to buy things because people have faith in that particular currency at that time.

The biafran currency was used to purchase things in Biafra during the Civil War because the Igbos had faith in it.

But once Biafra collapsed people lost faith in the currency and it is no longer valued as money.

A Nigerian trader will easily accept the American dollar paper note on the street of Nigeria because he has faith in it.

But an American trader will not accept the Nigerian naira on the street of America because he has no faith in it.

It's all faith. Money is by faith.

And that's why I said we all believe in 'stories' just not the biblical ones.

It was trade and barter that was used at that time. Then currency replaced trade and barter. Darn
We have civilizations that predated your “stories” in the Bible.
Even your “stories” were gotten from em Mesopotamia.

it doesn't matter where the stories came from.

What matters is the faith people have in them.

The Quran (I'm guessing you are a Muslim) came from a very far place. Does it matter to you?

Of course not, your beliefs in the story is all that matters to you.

Today, I don't believe in the Quran so it is useless to me. Same way you dont believe in the Bible and it is useless to you.

You don’t use faith for trade and barter. Nawa oo

I don't know why you keep holding on to trade by barter.

It's trade by barter and not trade and barter by the way.

Trade by barter is a very old form of trade, how does it concern our discussion exactly?

Trade and barter are 2 different things. And I’m trying to explain to you.
Currency evolved from trade and barter. You don’t know the history of why currency was printed on paper. You are only looking at it as “paper”

nah.

Barter is only a form of trade not different from trade.

When you do trade by barter or barter items, you exchange product for products.

For instance, you give someone your phone and the person gives you palm oil in return.

That's trade. But it is a trade by barter.

But with currency you need to have faith that the money a person paid to you for your phone can be used to get the palm oil that you want.

I have read it.
It doesn't matter if currency is involved or not.
So long as there's an exchange of products, trade has taken place.
But the exchange can be product for product (barter)
Or product for currency.
They are all trade.

this is like jss 3 business studies.

We all know how modern paper money came about.

But I'm talking about the concept behind money. The WHY people accept money not the HOW it came to be.

It was called bartering first. And they are different. It was when money was invited that “trade” to was invented.

There are different forms of trade. Trading by direct exchange of products is just one form of trading.

this is wrong.

Barter and trade is the same thing. They can't exist before each other.

Think of barter and trade as two umbrellas. They are both umbrella but trade is the bigger umbrella and so covers barter.

Trade have many types. Barter is just one type of trade.
