A preferred form of payment often the difference maker in a deal... that not just a variation in function of money in making deals, as it is also true of preferences in choosing a preferred form for storage and preservation or growth of value... which is mostly what we chat about here... the reasons for and risks in preferring one form over another based on the varying perceptions of the appeal of the features... Greed for money is not equally distributed in terms of the form... varies over time and changes with circumstance... depending on not just variables in the desires driving a preferred form vs. others, but also varying with change in perceptions of risks. As Jack is market savvy... you might test your payment offers again by introducing more risks in one form versus another... Where is the boundary between quantity and immediate gratification... desire in the longer term... and the perception of risks to the nest egg ? Some might prefer money paired with a store of value function that grows in value vs shrinking... as seems reasonable... as long as it is still convenient enough to be usable... or otherwise better avoids risks rather than growing them exponentially. Others might prefer other features: portability, privacy, security, isolation from taxing authority... but all still pretty simple in balancing "more" with... "keeping more"... in spite of risks inherent in change over time in... everything that can change. And, there... is perhaps the more useful context in which to consider the function of money supplied with an expiration date... Whatever its intended impacts... it is very likely to drive greater innovation in seeking out the unlimited number of potentials in those forms as alternatives that are without expiry. And, should you expect that means people will suddenly become vastly better stewards of their resources ?
