供給　—　Phenomena

The quantity that comes onto the market.

Silver denier of Pippin IIIc. 755 Bitasen (debased cast copies)15th–16th century Wampum (belt of shell beads)17th century (the age of trade money)

If a silver mine is discovered, the supply of silver increases, and as it increases, the value of silver falls. ⚠ As long as currency itself is also a commodity, it cannot escape this logic.
