Do you ever wonders why we are using this paper as money?

[UchihaRukawa]

In my opinion, they are thinking like that because they dont have the knowledge about our modern technologies today, most of the people who are criticizing cryptocurrency are those people who are old enough that they cannot understand how to operate a simple ipad, so they literally dont have a clue about the way our system is going.

The history of trading or exchanging is a very interesting one. Man decided to finally limit the burden of using items like cowries or some special stones to make payment because it was cumbersome - the reason for the paper money. Convenience is what every man seek and because of this, the Blockchain has been created to bring a more convenient and simple way of making payment both online and offline. Cryptocurrency will definitely hit the mainstream adoption some years to come.

I just smile when some people boast of paper where they are easily damaged, torn, and for sure they are easily faked. whereas crypto will never be faked and won't break, that's all

we all actually follow the system that has happened for years, so we cannot escape the system that binds all countries, so crypto currency actually aims to convert the paper currency system into a digital currency, but it is very difficult to change the system that has been done for so long, You can make sure it takes years, but if everything has changed the world will know that they have been fooled with very fragile, easily damaged banknotes that are easily faked, and easily played by big countries.

paper money is part of the history of the human revolution, from the very beginning using metal even now, and perhaps many rulers thought paper money was better in terms of quality and security, although now that is doubtful, for a moment I think if this is the development of currencies then there is a possibility in the future when the paper money is no longer reliable, then crypto will replace it, if seen from the mindset and lifestyle of humans now it seems that it will not be difficult, but whose name lives in a country too many regulations that sometimes inhibit changes, regulations that are too rigid and standard will be a big obstacle, maybe it's time to make a revolution, which inevitably takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice to make it happen, are you ready for that?

Well, it paper money has been a part of the human revolution, the thing now is that a lot of things flopped about it, which I cannot say if that was a result of paper money itself, or as a result of some bad economic policies that really damaged a lot of things, and the government has been able to keep covering that up to make us believe there is still some sort of value for the use of paper currency.

Nonetheless, I guess another revolution is about taking over yeah? So in that case, I guess we can then understand the main reason why paper currency actually sucks.

[batang_bitcoin]

Before, I dont mind it why we are using paper as money. But as a citizen, we have to obey what does the law says and our countries has the same law with it. As they declare something like paper/cash as money, it will turn out that way.

I just realized it lately, yeah why we have to use paper as money if our ancestors successfully live through trading "barter", exchanging of goods to goods/services vice versa.

People think about convenience in everything so if some kind of medium can act as valuable thing to exchange between the goods that why the paper money and coins were introduced but the fiat money system comes very lately just before two centuries ago in my knowledge at that time only the banks take over the currencies from governments.

[katiecbell]

Yes I have wondered that a lot, in the end the adoption of money is all because of believe. These days this believe is forced upon the people...

That is the thing! They make you to believe what they want you to believe and in the end you just realize that those who are suffering it the most are still the same set of masses believing and not liberating themselves in a way.

Paper is an inflating currency that the government keep printing just to cover up their asses, and with their bad economic policies, monopolies and a lot of shady things that keeps coming, you will just end up realizing at the end that, it just has been a scam all along and there is nothing good the fiat system on its own as well as paper currency has brought than negativity over the years.

Just want to share the details about the people who ever thinks that why we need to use just paper as currency and we all are working hard to get those paper.People claiming that bitcoin is not virtual so it cannot be considered as money or they call it as scam or ponzi but they are using just papers for centuries and those paper currency were made out of thin air.

For me, this using paper as currency is a long time system. For sure before it implement a long time ago it goes through a different discussion. In the old days, are system is trading of goods. People are trading goods to goods to fullfil their needs. But as time goes by, they think another way in transaction that is why they developed this kind of system which is paper as a currency to used to trade their goods.

old generation did not open minded to technology developtment.and i am believe because of that still much people under estimate to cryptocurrency.

Made out of thin air? Are you reading what you are putting here? Do you even know that to make money you should be able to to pay them money? Money is being made because they are paying money, this is not made out of thin air since if they do, do you think we will be able to see it? Well, sarcasm aside, don't belittle these paper money since it is more older than you and a lot of people are alive, happy and comfortable because of this papers. You might not be able to live or even be born without these papers.

[gentlemand]

I have found that most people are uninformed about how fiat money really works, it's astonishing how many people still believe that fiat money is backed by gold.

Most people don't know about gold's role in the past either. Most people don't know shit about money. All they know is that they need it. I dunno if it would be beneficial if the populace en masse realised what a wheeze it all was. Better to remain blissfully ignorant.

[cryptokingdom]

The reason we have strong believe in paper money is because is  was invented by Government and we believe our Government are always doing what will benefit it citizen and it has being effective for ages. If bitcoin was invented by U.S Government by now bitcoin would have being globally adopted.

Although paper is a cheap material, it is money. Money is very important in society now. As the world grows, money becomes more important than ever. More money will show you are a good person and a better person to help the society. Modern society is no longer the same as in the past.

So you were saying these papers were have been here since the world created which was happened billion years ago?

No right.they why you can't agree that is is made out of thin air.Okay fine here I have some example why I said it is made out of think air lets imagine the total money supply in the world at the moment is 100 Billion dollars and how much it was before 5 years the same value? No it maybe 75 Billion or lesser so why the money keeps increasing that is why we call it as made out of thin air.

Yes I agree with you, that the payment system will be developed as the days passed and comes from a lot of discussion before implementing it and make a value for it as the government needed to upgrade in order to continuously sustain the needs of its citizens. It will help everyone to transact anything they want in a fast way and also it becomes an easy way to transact to other people wherever they go that everyone can be able to know and use its real value.

[satriagedhe]

LOL XD , i think because that "papper " was acceptable by the goverment and because of that , that "papper" have value by itself

[CoinAcademyNL]

Fiat money like coins or paper money is a symbolism that represents the status or a person and their country in my opinion. Also it dies have the same way of getting its value just like gold, silver, diamonds and even cryptocurrency and that is by us the people or market putting value in it.

Not only by putting value into it, it's about putting believe into it, that's always been the most important factor of money in the history.

These days our money is fully centralised and it's not in circulation because of the people's believe anymore, but fully because of the force.
It's a very bad change in my opinion.

That's why BTC/Blockchain is a good thing.

The sad thing is the government can print any papermoney as they want and we dont even realize it that our paper money's value is decreased.

Technically you can never face paper money per se as you can pay with your credit card - nowadays it`s accepted almost everywhere, even in the smallest stores. It`s amusing to think that in this case fiat is not different from Crypto - supported by nothing other than the government and without psychical form - tie Crypto to a credit card and most people will not notice the difference. I wonder how many people actually know how modern banking system that they use daily works, let alone blockchain and Crypto.

I do not know what currency you use, but the American dollar is very lasting and practically not fake.In view of the very rapid development of all mankind and also new technologies over time, paper money will disappear by itself.And by far the cryptocurrency will replace fiat money.
