Just my thoughts #0588

What if you could fulfill your transaction benefits (considerations) in various ways, including fiat money? Have you ever wondered what the consequences for your business would be if you could fulfill your benefits in ways other than cash? For instance, let’s say you are a shoe manufacturer. To make shoes, you must purchase raw materials like leather and process them into finished products known as shoes. At this time, if you can pay for raw materials with the finished shoes you made instead of fiat currency, you wouldn’t need to take out a loan with interest from the bank. However, the world’s economic system has limited the standard of value exchange to ‘cash,’ commonly referred to as fiat money. We need to understand precisely why banking is so important to entrepreneurs. This is one of the reasons the industry does not surpass finance. After all, money is among the goods whose value is determined by supply and demand. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In his book, “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” the Nobel Prize winner in economics, Daniel Kahneman, said that humans have two systems of thinking. These two thinking systems were called “system 1” and “system 2”. “System 1” is an intuitive and emotional thinking system that operates unconsciously and immediately. “System 2” is rational and is determined by careful consideration. “System 1” is advantageous for survival in a crisis and works immediately, so operating costs are less than “System 2”. When humans make decisions, they decide 95% with “System 1” and 5% with “System 2”. Humans decide by emotion, but by reason, they must revenge those foolish emotions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In 2002, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman conducted an experiment called the “Dictator Game”. It was 1986. One of the two subjects was given $20 to share with the other. The first condition was that the recipient could exercise his veto power if he did not like the distribution ratio, and then, the ruler ensured that the giver did not have the money. The second condition eliminated the veto. In the first condition, most people who gave money were divided in half. In the second condition, however, the giver had about 70% and shared only 30%. Most people think of fairness to vested interests between 50% and 70%. But, in some cases, even though the recipient had a veto, the giver had 90% and wanted to share only 10%. At that time, it was beneficial for the recipient to receive at least 10%, but by exercising the veto power, the giver did not have the money either. This is the moment of conflict between justice and rationality. People do not make decisions based on reason alon...
