If the means of value exchange is recognized only in the fiat currency issued by the government, the accumulation of wealth that has taken place can only be expressed in terms of value versus fiat currency. Due to the limited quantity of money, if I make money, someone will lose it. In other words, my profit is someone’s loss. Of course, the opposite is also true. 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. If we must share a pizza, making a larger pizza itself is akin to making everyone happier than before. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

To obtain the information we seek, we invest time and effort in searching. During this process, there is a cost known as “information search cost.” If the search costs exceed the value of the information we wish to obtain, it is deemed inefficient; people generally aim to avoid inefficiency. For instance, if a billionaire spends considerable effort searching for a car for less than 90,000 USD, then the billionaire will just buy because it is inefficient. Cost-effectiveness in the economic world judgment is a crucial factor to get dominion world we’re living in. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
