Money is one of the important concepts, This section talks about money from the perspective of microeconomics.when people exchange goods and services without using money, this is called barter. "I'll cook dinner if you'll do the dishes" is an example of barter. Imagine an economy in wich i can sell services as a consultant to banks, but what i want is to buy a new suit. the clothing store that sell suits does not have any use for my services as a banking consultant. i sell consulting services for money, and i buy a suit using money. money serves as a medium of exchange. the bank does not sell suits. how can barter work?

Barter works well for the people who are willing to exchange for things that you have. If they are not willing, find someone who is, exchange it for something else and offer that for what you want. But the problem with barter is that it is not universal and it is not constant. One might percieve that what you're offering isn't of value much like offering a heater in the middle of the desert. Money makes ir possible to directly exchange it for something else.

Well ,I think that's why we more than need money than barter. We all know that Money is all we need.
 Sometimes, We need to think that's better for us. When we're bartering we do not even want to equate ourselves And it is not appropriate for the thing we want.

Money to stay for all of us to be equal.

Barter is the first medium of exchange happened in our history since money was not invented during ancient era. Money was firstly used in Mesopotamia. In the history, money is not like our money as of now. The value of money depends upon the weight of a gold, silver or bronze. But before they ancient people used money, they live in a system of barter change where goods were traded in another goods around the world.
Barter change worked during old times since they did not have any valued things to be a medium of exchange.

The question is how did Barter worked when it did and not how can it work when it already faded out. During the time of barter, people don't bother about all of this complexities all they do is either till the ground, fish or hunt these 3 basic things that people engage in makes it easier to exchange your goods or services without issue. But with the industrial revolutions and several development that change our way of life which make several jobs show forth, makes barter an outdated practice and the need to find a lasting solution which gave birth to money.

It is not only about making it easier to exchange goods or services, though it is definitely so without doubt. In the days of direct exchange, you and your family or your tribe could well exist completely on their own without any exchange of goods at all because in those backward times you exchanged only things that were in surplus. Money came about when the division of labor had started to emerge and exchanging goods had become a vital necessity, when you started to produce goods which cannot keep you going on their own and you had to exchange them just to survive.

Although money and exchange are different, there are many similarities between them. Which is a top complement. Because money is not exchangeable.

When people found a new way of doing things, that is when they then realize that the old way is absurd and life threatening situations. When Pentium systems started being produced, you can switch on your system and sleep to then wake up hoping that it would have fully loaded for you to use but today personal computers are being produced that won't even need to load for you to use.

Money is far better than barter, with money you can easily go for  what  you want, but with barter you have the problem of double coesident of want.

I like barter, but it is difficult to find someone who will need your services in exchange for his services. With money it's much easier to purchase everything you need.

The primary difference between barter and currency systems is that a currency system uses an agreed-upon form of paper or coin money as an exchange system rather than directly trading goods and services through bartering. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, although currency systems are more widely used in modern economies.
Since the beginning of known history, humans have directly exchanged goods and services with one another in a trading system called bartering. Traditionally, bartering systems were used within the local community, but advances in technology and transportation make it possible for modern society to barter on a global level.

Barter was replaced by money a long time ago for the reasons you already described. So why the question? Has some political party, society or movement brought that up - the incentive to return to the barter system?

If barter became the dominant medium of exchange that would be taxed too, indeed it is in many a place. It doesn't matter if no money changed hands, the tax man still attributes a value to the transaction and wants his cut.

It may not work in practice as good as you may think. For instance, what if someone wants to exchange a live cow for two live sheep, how are the taxes to be determined and collected in that case? Should the tax collector cut out a pound of flesh from the cow and two pounds from the sheep? Also, why should there be a need to tax transactions in the first place? Are such transactions taxed now?

this is why the system has changed because of this usefulness gaps, but you have a good point of view and if we were in barter mode still, would we use banks and would we have needed them in first case ?

Barter systems have long been abandoned and this is only part of history before people use the money to meet their needs.
History is unlikely to happen, and money is more popular today. and digital currency will be present in place of fiat.
The money was invented as a measure of the amount of labor that people spend on the production of various goods. But governments and bankers United and began to manually manipulate the amount of money. From that moment on, people were enslaved to them. Bitcoin was supposed to change this system but users wanted to combine Fiat and cryptocurrencies. That is why we are seeing such a decline in prices.

Money is much more convenient to use, although I do not refuse barter if there is such an opportunity. But in order to use barter, you need to spend a lot of effort to find a person who needs your service and can provide the necessary service in return.

First I want to say barter showing that human is a socials being, someone who give and who accept for satisfy himself and help someone else. That's our history we don't need to barate a system barter, with system barter we found money.

At this time after we found money, a barter system dissapear because money more worth compared barter because we feel money is more fair. The price of stuff will determined by money, and money will adapt about stuff.

The era will change, we just need for everything that will happened. And now cryptocurrency came and make human more easy to use, we can send money or by stuff with different country with fast procces. And we will see cryptocurrency will make money like a barter.

money makes it easy for people to transact and judge a good stuff. I am sure it

money is now required to conduct each transaction and in each country has its own currency. so it is an identity and that is used by people from different worlds

I can not imagine what if we were without money, you traded services for something. we may not be rich if we always want goods and exchange them, you will lose your goods and of course every item has an important value to be able to exchange it. for example you want a car, then what should you exchange? of course this will be confusing, and could be negative for human trade. but the emergence of money, it becomes a solution for us to transact buying and selling for our needs. work to earn money to buy our needs. and this system will probably go on in our life.
