Bartering is like a super old way of trading! Instead of using money, people swap things they have for things they need. Think of it as a direct exchange - I give you my yummy apples, and you give me your colorful crayons! ๐ค
Bartering is super ancient! Long before coins or paper money were invented, people were already trading goods and services with each other. Imagine farmers swapping crops, or blacksmiths trading tools for food. It helped communities thrive! ๐งโ๐พ
Even though we mostly use money now, bartering is still useful! It can help people get what they need when they don't have money. It also helps people connect and share their skills and goods! Plus, it's a great way to learn about value and negotiation! ๐ง
