# 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.

## QUIZ

**Question:** What determines the purchasing power of a store of value?

**Answer:** The number of people who want it as a store of value

**Feedback:** Nice work! The purchasing power of a store of value is determined by the number of people who want to use it as a way to store value. As more people want to use it for this purpose, the value of the store of value increases

**Correct:** true

**Answer:** The weather

**Feedback:** Sorry, the weather is definitely a factor in many things, but it's not quite the right answer for this question. Maybe try looking at other factors that could affect the value of a store of value

**Correct:** false

**Answer:** The color of the store of value

**Feedback:** I'm sorry to say that the color of a store of value probably doesn't have much of an effect on its purchasing power. It's definitely an interesting idea though! Maybe try considering other characteristics that could affect the value of a store of value.

**Correct:** false

## 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-203-the-evolution-of-money-i/203.03-lesson-store-of-value.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.
