When we exchange what we need, we use money as a medium instead of trading ‘goods for goods.’ In this context, money acts as a means of exchange. When we exchange what we need, we also build wealth by passing on added value to each other. In other words, money functions as both a medium of exchange and a measure of value, as well as a tool for accumulating wealth. But isn’t this a bit strange? Although exchange value comes from goods and surplus is generated from this exchange value, the object used to measure and accumulate wealth is money, not goods. This is because money alone has the privilege called ‘compulsory circulation power.’ In other words, even if value is created, added value cannot be realized unless it’s exchanged. The ability to enable such exchanges is what we call ‘compulsory circulation power.’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Little money makes people rich, while big money can make people poor. It’s about our attitude towards money . Money should neither be overlooked nor be ostentatious . However, what is certain is that if you ignore small amounts of money, high-quality money will not follow, and if you pursue only big money, there is a strong possibility of losing everything in an instant. A person’s attitude determines the nature of money, and the legitimacy of the way they make money affects the quality of that money . Not all money earned is equal; it varies in quality depending on how people treat it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
