The real world examples you have been talking about fit that assumption. In many (but not all) possible cases the hypothetical of fish and silver would as well. As I intended the examples: Fish & Silver differ in that fish must be traded soon or it loses nearly all it's value. (about 3 days) The compensation from ownership differs from the compensation of a payment also by it's time component. The ownership lasts forever presumably paying a series of payments throughout that time. A payment is just that.
