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”

Almost 90 years ago, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin met at the premiere of the film “City Lights” in Los Angeles. Einstein said to Chaplin, “What I admire most about your art is its universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!” Chaplin replied, “True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.” What is respect, and what is understanding? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A painting embodies both media and authority. The mural in the medieval cathedral catered to the illiterate, who could not read the Bible. Access to written information was granted solely to priests, representing a form of power. The Reformation diminished this authority. New forms of media transform power dynamics, either generating or redistributing power. This influence shapes our everyday experiences. Writing, photography, and graphics continue to affect power structures. To understand the shifts in power, you must engage in a blend of art and business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Music is the flow of time. It is an art that divides a predetermined time and promises when to pronounce it. Musicians who break time promises are not entitled to music. It is an act of desecrating the sublime art of music. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
