Money is that which is universally fungible and accepted for the permanent extinguishment of debt. Trading one liability for another extinguishes nothing and only transfers the obligation. Silver and gold are fungible, no one's liability, and universally understood and accepted as money. Everything else masquerading as money, however useful at any point in time, fails the definition.
