 A subsystem for transaction processing, storage and historical
 measurement.
 
+synopsis
+--------
+The big question for any trader is this:
+
+*what is the price that determines whether i take a loss or a gain on my
+trade?*
+
+In other words, at any given state of accounting your current assets,
+what is the price between any 2 assets you've transacted that determines
+at which price you can conduct **the next** transaction and know if you
+are making or losing more (or less) of the *source* asset versus the
+*destination* asset?
+
+Let's do a very simple example:
+
+> Joe wants to buy some tacos bc they're super hungo.
+> Joe has a friend who also likes tacos but doesn't mind if they're fresh; he doesn't mind having day old tacos.
+> Inflation is rampant and taco prices are trending up for no good reason besides everyone thinks prices are going up.
+> Joe goes to the taco stand and buys 4 tacos at 25 mxn.
+> This makes Joe's net cost `4 * 25 = 200` mxn.
+> Joe eats 3 tacos and realizes that he can't finish the last, so he puts it in the fridge to save for the next day (since he owns a comal).
+> The next day the price of tacos goes up to 30 mxn (for no good reason > besides the taco stand noticing Joe is a tourist and that > "inflation" is some thing that's used as an excuse for price changes).
+> Joe's friend from before got lit up (like he does every morning) and msgs Joe to buy him 2 tacos for when he shows up in the late morning.
+> Joe says "sure, but i also have a leftover if you want it, and I'm fasting today so you can have my sobras and i'll buy you a new one".
+> The friend coughs a couple times, and says "yee no problem man, just make sure you get them"
+>
+
