What i know in money evolution is that it started with Bartering, then gold and minerals, it came the fiat money now towards digital money. No matter how it started the important is now how are we going about it? How are we preparing ourselves to new technology and digital money?
I guess we are all prepared to what may happen in the future. The past will always be remembered as it is and people will always learn to what is the importance of the past. Value of items and products in the past are hard to consider since they are all just trading each other things that is well, valuable but it's value is not really the same as it is now. Nowadays, artifacts are being valued so much it will cost you your whole life. I guess in the past and what it is now, the only thing that changed is the value of things, if you will be thinking of it, even a simple thing has a great value and people are paying for it.
This is actually the future and there is definitely no doubt about it. We have seen the way things have panned out since the beginning of crypto sphere and we surely have in mind what would become of the future as all things being equal.
Looking from way back of our ancestors, the way they spend, transact, we will know that evolution is something that is inevitable, and it will definitely come one way or the other. Now, we are seeing it on a different light and with the way things are going, this is a new form of money that will be replacing the paper currency in the long run and who even knows what tomorrow may be holding?
