[Comic] The Origin of the Exchange Thousands of years ago, in Mesopotamia, people beg...
Story prompt:
The Origin of the Exchange Thousands of years ago, in Mesopotamia, people began exchanging goods and services. Imagine Ur-Nammu, a skilled potter who needed grain to feed his family. In exchange, he offered beautiful ceramic vessels. But bartering had its challenges: what if someone doesn't want your vessels in exchange for their grain? The coincidence of desires was complicated. The Invention of Coins One day, Lydia, an ancient civilization, had a brilliant idea. They decided to mint small pieces of metal with an official seal. These currencies were accepted by everyone to buy goods and services. Money was born! Gold, silver and bronze coins became symbols of wealth and power. Paper Money and Banks Centuries later, in China, merchants began using paper bills as promises to pay. Banks emerged to store people's money and issue these bills. Thus, money became more portable and easier to use. The Digital Age In modern times, money became digital. Credit cards, electronic transfers and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin revolutionized the way we pay. Now, we can buy things online without touching a physical currency. Conclusion So, dear reader, the history of money is an epic adventure full of ingenious inventions, intrigues and radical changes. The next time you pull out your wallet, remember that you're holding centuries of history in your hands.
