When money was not yet discovered long time ago, barter was done by the ancient people. They did exchange of goods. Some had golds in exchange for other items or services. At our times, barter is still evident, but most of the time we are using paper money. Money is used inexchange for services or in buying goods.

That depends on what will give you a good profit between the two. If i can make a trade lower than the money that i should get today but would later double my profit, then i will gladly trade it today.

Barter has only one advantage. Its value cannot be tricked. The money are emitted by a central banks of the countries, and the governments can realize a monetary politics they wish. Therefore the price of the goods can be significantly increased at one day if the money is inflated. Bitcoin and other crypto currencies were designed to be a decentralized and transnational and their technologies are not depended on the opinion of any government.

The main advantage of money over barter is that money is always going to be usable. Barter is very often not possible. Think about how barter works. You have to trade something you have for something you want. Let's say that I am a teacher. If we have a barter system, I am going to have to find someone, for example, who wants to be taught and who has some chickens and rice for me to eat. I will have to find someone who wants to be taught and who can make me clothes to wear. In other words, I have to find people who have the things I want and who want the things I have to trade.  There are going to be many cases where this will not be possible. Thus, the main advantage of money is that it can be exchanged for anything. Anyone will take money because it is always valuable to them. By contrast, the things that I have to barter might not be valuable to various people and so it will be much harder to find chances to trade.

Therefore, barter is almost non-existent on a global scale. With the advent of money, barter became ineffective. Barter again becomes a form of mutual settlement only if the money lose its credibility as a result of hyperinflation. However, if the state decides to switch to non-cash payment, a part of the population, I think, will have to switch to mutual settlement in kind, that is, in barter, because not all can use payment cards or crypto currency for various reasons.

I think people use money because they find it easier to use it. well, in the barter system, that is between fellow goods, and mutual need. I find it very difficult to find the willingness of someone who has become rich, so I better choose money in comparison barter.

Money may be chosen more by people I think, if the barter still many shortcomings. One is to determine the value of both items to be bartered or exchanged. If it is not fair then the transaction will not be able to proceed or cancel.

Actually we conceptualized money because of the problems of a barter system. You can't effectively exchange goods if what you're exchanging for is the same goods. Money places a value on all goods and services so that you can exchange them for pieces of paper that you trust have value vouched by the governing body of the country.

I know people will be surprise at my response. In my community market people are still practice trade by barter. The people in my community are farmers and fishermen. So you can exchange your farm produce for fish.

[andika2018]

Barter work if the goods have same value. The value determined by both side and i think that will create fair barter. But right now with money, we can easily know the value of goods and we dont have to bargain. Right now, almost rare we can find communities doing barter

[Tynovten_]

Barter precisely exchange between goods, either the same kind or not similar but with the same value. You want to replace your car with a motor cycle of course motor value must be equal to the value of the car (regardless of the important motorcycle must be worth the price)

But it is not so easy you have to really find people who want to exchange. What if you have 1 goat and you just want vegetables of course this is very unreasonable.


Many weaknesses in the process of it.

[bering]

barter won't suitable anymore for the current life because very impractical unless you're life in the countries which have high inflations such as Venezuela that barter system can be used at there and besides that people will thinking barter as second options for the payment because use cash for every transactions is more simple and usefull

[funnynews]

Actually, we moved from barter to money long time ago, and most people decided that money is much more comfortable to use!

The good thing about bartering is that services don't really depreciate with the exception of technology replacing certain tasks but it's not something that's viable in today's day and age, it's just not versatile enough.
