All businesses are traders. They swap a solved problem for money. Money isn't a thing. It helps solve coordination problems. Money is more analogous to words. Words also only exist in our heads, and in the heads of people who understand what the words we use mean. Money is the same. It only exists because the Government says so by law, and we believe them. For money to change hands, you need to be able to clearly articulate your problem (ask), or someone needs to clearly articulate the problem they can solve (offer). Words and money are just tools to get things to happen, and stuff to move. It is still barter, it is just a little smarter.
