Therefore, it is said that currency possesses the property of ‘goods’ whose value changes according to market functions. So, is there a structure where everyone can gain profits, rather than a game where someone loses while someone else earns? This essence will not change, but the methods by which productivity grows and the ability to create added value will improve, creating the best win-win system in the current scenario.
