Who is Money?

Money is a medium of exchange that facilitates the buying and selling of goods and services. It acts as a unit of account, a store of value, and a standard of deferred payment. Historically, money has taken various forms, including commodity money (like gold or silver), representative money (such as certificates backed by a commodity), and fiat money (government-issued currency not backed by a physical commodity). In recent times, digital currencies, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, have emerged as new forms of money, leveraging technology to enable decentralized and peer-to-peer financial transactions.
