Before you get mad, let me explain. Plus why it’s crucial for building wealth.

In reality, the accurate color of money is clear because money is actually an infinite source. And is something that does not always need to be seen physically in order to be understood. Not because we print money (part of it) but because of two things:

  1. We create money whenever we provide and exchange value in a marketplace, and there is no limit to the amount of value one can give or receive, as there is no such thing as only one definition of value. What we value is based on our perception. Not definite.
  2. Money is all about movement. If you don’t move money around, you are not exchanging value, and you block the opportunity for more of it to come your way. Because to be a great producer, you need to be a good consumer. Else how would you know what value means for you or others?

And the closest thing that reflects this new and profound reality is water because it moves around a lot. That’s constantly in production and that we all use and need. The color of it just so happens to be blue because water reflects the color of the sky.
