I need to be able to trade widgets for potatoes or socks, even if the farmer or seamstress don't need widgets. Money is the greatest force multiplier cuz it allows specialization.

I'm not against money.
I'm against fiat.

What is money?

Money is that which is "fungible, portable, durable, and divisible", as Mike Maloney has said, which is why he advises buying gold. I think BCH is better.

I think this is a bad definition though - things that have those characteristics can *become* money. But that doesn't tell me what money *is*.

Ok. Money is what people trade their energy and time in to get stuff.

Ok I'll race you. Go buy a banana with BCH, I'll buy one with Japanese Yen - Winner is using the superior money(at least in the short term). I'll go when you say go.

You want to just talk about short term?

Short-term, yes. It eventually won't.
To a limited degree.
BTC or BCH?

Gold isn't portable or divisible. Dollars aren't especially durable and are becoming less fungible. I think portability and divisibility is more important. You can always convert out.
