# 203.3 Lesson - storeOfValue

**Screen:** storeOfValue

**Headline:** Four Stages of Money: Store of Value

**Reward:** 2

**Text:** The store of value is the second stage of money's evolution. When enough people want money because of its special qualities, it becomes a way to keep and save value over time, to transport hard earned wealth into the future.

As more people recognize a good as a good way to store value, the good's value increases as more people want it for this purpose.

Eventually, the value of a store of value will stop increasing as it becomes widely held and fewer new people want it as a store of value.
