Everything is money

When everything is money, nothing is money.

With crypto, digital assets are trivial to transfer, perpetually marked to market, and instantly liquid.

The combination of these three traits brings us back to a future of bartering in the sense that you will ultimately be able to pay for anything with any of your digital assets, as long as they are of the right value.

In traditional bartering, both sides have to be interested in what the other has to offer, but that is no longer the case.

With crypto, there is a free, instant, and automated "middle man" available for any exchange of goods and services such that both sides do not need to be interested in each other's assets.

The buyer can choose to pay with one thing (or even a combination of things) and the seller can choose to receive something else of equal value at that moment. The necessary exchanges will happen in that moment.

In other words, you can pay for anything with anything.

There's no need for a uniform medium of exchange.

When everything is money, nothing is money.
