We have been swapping goods since the dawn of time, but researchers at the
Bexley University have just released a paper outlining a new trading strategy - the Gould (₲).
Instead of trading a bucket of milk for two bundles of wheat, a bucket of milk can now be exchanged for Goulds, while a bundle of wheat has another valuation. Now, you don't need to bring your wheat to the market, and you can just bring some goulds, and exchange them for milk, where the dairy seller can use the goulds to buy wheat at the other stall.
But doesn't this just make everything more complex? The authors of the paper argue that this allows the market to become flexible and efficient. Instead of having to manage complex payout structures in investment projects, banks can just issue loans of goulds and the project executor can manage them.
When selling or buying goods, the buyer and seller must agree on a price - a valuation. This valuation may not stay stable, milk might cost a little more one day than the other, based on how the market is acting.
The paper has been submitted to congress which will review it and, if seems fit, implement it.
