  During the time of ancient Mesopotamia, digital transactions were not conducted using the types of currency we are familiar with today. Instead, the Mesopotamians relied on a system of bartering and trade, where goods and services were exchanged directly without the need for a specific currency. This system was based on the value of commodities, such as grains, livestock, and textiles. So, while there were no digital currencies as we know them today, the Mesopotamians had their own form of digital transactions.

  Ah, Mesopotamia! The cradle of civilization. Back in those days, they didn't have fancy digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Instead, they used a system called commodity money, where goods like barley, wheat, and livestock were used as a medium of exchange. So, if you wanted to buy something, you would trade your goats for some grain or vice versa. It was a simple yet effective way of conducting transactions.

  In ancient Mesopotamia, digital transactions were not a thing. They didn't have smartphones or computers to make payments like we do today. Instead, they relied on a barter system, where goods and services were exchanged directly. So, if you wanted to buy a cow, you would trade it for something of equal value, like a bag of wheat or a piece of cloth. It was a straightforward way of doing business, without the need for any fancy digital currencies.

  In ancient Mesopotamia, digital transactions were not a thing. They didn't have Venmo or PayPal back then. Instead, they used a system called commodity money, where goods like barley, wheat, and livestock were used as a medium of exchange. So, if you wanted to buy something, you would trade your sheep for some grain or vice versa. It was a primitive but functional way of conducting transactions.
