Why did human beings invent money digital currency

1. Money was not invented on purpose

the earliest commodity transaction was barter, which graally evolved into exchanging some items that are easy to carry and keep for other items, which is a natural and long process. In different parts of the world, there are many kinds of goods as the medium of trade

for example, when Marco Polo landed in North America, Indians were still using shell strings, and there were several other minor items as money. It can be said that the Indian civilization only lasted until the tribal era, and was terminated by the powerful instrial civilization of the west before the country was formed. However, it provides people with a very intuitive modern history, so that we can trace back to the early development of mankind

China has a long history. In the Qin Dynasty, knife coins were issued by the state. In the following dynasties, official currency and folk gold and silver were used in parallel. The history of gold as a world currency was ended by the US dollar after the Bretton Woods conference in 1944 and returned to the commodity ranks

to sum up, money has naturally developed from ordinary commodities to national legal tender.

2. People need to exchange things, but some things are too big to be exchanged directly, so there is money. The so-called money is the general equivalent, which existed when people had the demand for trade in primitive society. At that time, money was usually carried out with the most commonly used items, such as grain and salt, and later with beautiful rare shells and gemstones, Then came the metal currency, and then came the paper currency. The earliest paper currency was jiaozi in the Southern Song Dynasty. But if we trace back to the original person who "invented" the money, it is estimated that he didn't even have a name. Money is the proct of commodity exchange. Seashells from the southeast coast of China are found in majiami culture, Machang culture and Qijia culture tombs in Qinghai Province. Seashells are called the group of original currency. The discovery of seashells, including bone shells, stone shells and copper shells, reflects the degree of commodity exchange at that time. Strictly speaking, hand-made coins began with Dao and bu in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period. The first emperor of Qin unified the whole country, and the square hole round coined after unified currency became the ancestor of ancient Chinese currency. Wang Mang went back to the ancients and changed the system. He once resumed the use of Dao and bu currency, but it was very short. Until the reform of the Republic of China to the Yuan Dynasty, the rise of the Jin Dynasty and the change of the imperial titles in the past dynasties, although the coins issued were different in size, weight, and style, the square hole round coins continued to last. Today, there are many ancient coins handed down from generation to generation, and a large number of ancient coins are unearthed from time to time. With the development of commodity economy in Chinese feudal society, Huizi in Tang Dynasty and jiaozi in Song Dynasty came out one after another. In the Yuan Dynasty, banknotes were officially issued. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, banknotes continued to be issued. However, a large number of people's commodity exchange and economic exchanges are mainly square hole yuan. In 1958, more than 400 Yuan Dynasty Zhizheng and Zhiyuan banknotes were found in Geermu farm. They are rare in China for their large number, variety and good preservation. In 1956, in the infrastructure project of grain Department of huangmiao Street (now Jiefang Road), Xining City, 76 pieces of Persian silver coins were once found, which proved that Qinghai was an important channel of transportation in Central Asia in the 5th-6th century. Persian silver coins are round. It is about 2.5 cm in diameter and weighs 3.8 G. The obverse is the portrait of the king. According to the different portraits of the king, the silver coins are divided into two types: A and B. There is a new item in front of the crown of type A, with a battlement shaped ornament on the side and back of the crown, two floating ornaments at the end of the band on the back of the crown, a hair guard ball on the back of the head, and a couplet ball on the back. There is an inscription in bolava near the shoulder in front of the face, a line of kadipirvci (standing on pelus). The main crown of type B has wings on the front and back of the crown and a pair of wings on the back of the crown. There is a belt shape floating from the shoulder in front of the crown, which is symmetrical with the one behind the police. Type A and type B have the same pattern on the back. They are the fire worship altars for the silver coins of the Sassanian Dynasty. There are flames on the altars. The two sides of the flame are Pentagram (two yuan angle star) and crescent moon. On both sides of the altar, there is a sacrificial person standing opposite each other. There are many inscriptions on the back, indicating the casting place and chronology. Unearthed from huangmiao street in Xining city. From the time of pelus in the Sassanian period of Persia (equivalent to the northern and Southern Dynasties of our country).

3. Portable, low cost. This is compared with metal money. In ancient times, shells were used, and later metal currency was used. When the economy developed to a certain extent, that is to say, when the transaction volume was relatively large, paper currency appeared. The yuan has now been issued to the fifth set.

4. To be exact, man invented money for the convenience of exchange. But it seems that you don't like money very much. I advise you that money is a good thing. You'd better try to earn some money. It's useless to complain all day. After all, money is not guilty.

5. In the beginning, people exchanged what they had left or didn't need for a while for what they needed or didn't have. After a long period of time, people exchanged it in this way. The principle at that time was to have what they needed. With the development of history and the passage of time, it graally developed into value for money, and a good and scarce object had to be exchanged for many small things, Besides, people have to carry heavy things to exchange every day, which is a waste of manpower and inconvenient. Therefore, people think of using extremely rare and portable substitutes as objects. After the unanimous approval of the clan and the approval of all, the original currency, shells, appeared! Later, e to the expansion of people's activities, they had already come into contact with the sea, and there were more shells. People found silver and copper, so they used silver and copper instead of shells to circulate money.

6. You should ask, "why can't people do without money?" Right

the historical inevitability of "inventing" money or other things of value in circulation is clear to the landlord

there are many things in the world that have two sides. Atomic bomb can destroy human beings, and atomic energy can also help human beings. However, human beings can actually leave nuclear energy or nuclear power. Because there are other alternatives

unfortunately, people cannot do without money. Is it the fault of money, or the inventor of money, or the greed of human nature?

7. At first, they used their own things - they wanted to use other people's things - they exchanged their own for others - they found it difficult to operate (the quantity and value were not easy to determine) - they stipulated that the general circulating goods were money

8. Money is not invented, but a necessary proct of social development. Money is just a kind of intermediary proct of transaction. Sometimes, some things are too big for barter, and some have to trade a lot, so it is not easy to trade, so money is the intermediary of transaction

9. The earliest coin is shell, who is the inventor can not be verified
in the early economic activities of human beings, a kind of shell called freighter shell, with its characteristics of firmness, wear resistance, smoothness, beauty, portability and natural unit, acted as the medium of commodity exchange, which was the most primitive currency. In the history of currency, the use of shells as currency has a long circulation time and is more widely used. Many nations in the world have used shells as currency
600 years ago, when Zheng He, a great navigator, was sailing to the Western Ocean, his fleet arrived at Maldives, an island country in the Indian Ocean. At that time, it was called Liushan country. According to Gong Zhen's records in the annals of western countries, the local commercial trade was carried out in silver coins, but interestingly, the foreign currency shells were supplied here
originally, many coral reefs in Maldives abound in a kind of shell. Local people collect shells and pile them up like mountains. After the meat in the shells rots, they wash them and sell them to Siam (today's Thailand) and Bengal (today's Bangladesh) as currency in the market. According to the research, shells were also used as currency in some areas of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty. It is not known whether they came from Siam.

10. The so-called money is the general equivalent, which existed in primitive society when human beings had the demand for transaction. At that time, the task of money was usually undertaken with the most commonly used items, such as food and salt. Later, beautiful rare shells and gems were used, and then metal currency was used. Later, paper currency appeared. The earliest paper currency was "Jiaozi" in the Southern Song Dynasty. But if we trace back to the original person who "invented" the money, it is estimated that he didn't even have a name.
