# 202.8 Lesson - establishedHistory

**Screen:** establishedHistory

**Headline:** An established history of being valued by society

**Reward:** 4

**Text:** This is because a well-established store of value is less likely to be displaced by a newcomer, unless it has a significant advantage over the established good.

Additionally, people are creatures of habit and will keep using what they already know.

Gold, for example, has a long history of being valued and has maintained its value over time. In contrast, fiat currencies, which are a relatively recent invention, have a tendency to lose value over time due to inflation.

Bitcoin, although it has only been around for a short time, has shown resilience in the market and is likely to continue to be valued.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://earn.blink.sv/chapter-202-attributes-of-a-good-store-of-value/202.08-lesson-established-history.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
