Apparently a fact you like repeating ;-) <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=giordano%20bruno%20money%20by%3Acarapace&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...> Would you happen to know where Bruno said this, as it doesn't seem any of your earlier comments gives this vital detail, and I'm not finding any likely references elsewhere? A definition I find useful (though not entirely accurate) is from William Stanley Jevons who identified a properties of money as: 1. utility and value 2. portability 3. indestructability 4. homogeneity 5. divisibility 6. stability of value, and 7. cognisability William Stanley Jevons, Money and the Mechanism of Exchange Chapter 5: <https://archive.org/details/cu31924013816172 https://archive.org/details/cu31924013816172> Points 1, 2, & 3 afford low cost of storage. Of those, I differ with him on utility and value, as we have fiat currencies and accounts notations of no intrinsic value themselves, rather utility and value are the inverse of trust in the money-issuing authority. "Seignorage" in specie is then a measure of trust, and fiat currency effectively has infinite trust. My own view is that money is that commodity which has the most universal appeal, that is, it's what is wanted more than any other commodity. That might be a domestic government-issued coin or currency, but often has been something else: currency of some other government (as in Ecuador, El Salvador, Zimbabwe, British Virgin Islands, and Bonaire, the last being a Dutch territory), or physical commodity such as cigarettes, cowhide, beaver pelt, grain, shells, silk, etc. In high-trust societies, debt and credit substitute for physical tokens. Thanks.
