100 Articles on Primitive Money Curated Publications List

Early forms of money traded in communities; all forms of money that are not a coin or derived form one. This is all forms of money up until around 2700 years ago. This type of money still exists in communities but relying on a particular item or concept can be used as an exchange of value (including a YapStone), so once this is realized the concept of cryptocurrency becomes uncontroversial. This helps to show that anything can be value and traded, as is shown with tokenized assets and cryptocurrencies (both fungible and non-fungible, such as Crypto Kitties).
