We have been told that that is what barter is, because we are intended to not want a barter system. Our entire concept of "economics" has been created by the exact people who control us through our limited understanding of it.

If all you have in an apple, as in, it's your only worldly possession, and you need clothing, and there is only one clothing maker in the world, and they don't want apples, you're fucked.

If however you find out what the clothes seller wants, and you take your apples and try to get what the clothe seller wants in the broader marketplace, then turning your apples into clothes becomes pretty simple. The key word there is "broader marketplace," and of course the skills required to utilize it.

But there is more to it than that. There are plenty of things that can serve as "universal desires." Like, not everyone wants apples, or needs them at any one time, but there are things that are more universally desired, or that can hold value indefinitely. Grain used to be money, for example. Grain can last for years if stored properly. It is infinitely divisible (basically). There are many types of grain. So even if you don't have wheat, you might have rice. Maybe you have gold, or can get gold for your apples. Then you can trade your apples for wheat, gold, or rice, and all will serve perfectly fine as an "intermediary of exchange" between your apples and the clothes you need.

The key there is that there are multiple things that can serve as intermediary. When we rely on just one thing, then anyone who wants to fuck with the broader market can monopolize that one thing. That is exactly what you find when you dig into history, and how the world came to be controlled by the Cabal.

Personally, I'm a big fan of putting all stocks on NFTs. Every single business then would become such an intermediary. You could trade your apples for APPL stock. Then trade your APPL for clothes as easily as we currently swipe our credit card. Easy peasy. You can also have gold, silver, copper, platinum, nickel, etc., all serving perfectly fine as stores of wealth, serving as intermediaries. You can trade art (stores value), or property (stores value), etc. Anything that serves as a store of value for a longer time than your apples improves your ability to get clothes whenever you want.

We are taught that barter is between "two people" and thus we get confused. But barter is not, nor has it ever been limited to two people. That is why we invented "markets" in the first place. Creating a single intermediary took the "marketplace" and gave it a god. From there the high priests of that god ruled the world.

We need to kill that god, but first we need to learn why we should.
