the distinction between "services" and "physical objects" is not helpful.
But the material distinction between things that can be stored and persist
over time, that are alienable, and those that cannot, is of course important
when we are thinking about stores of value, stocks of inventories etc. E.g.,
obviously haircuts could never serve as base money.
