You ARE misunderstanding my argument, by which I mean your response COMPETELY IGNORES the argument I made and instead talks about how the monetary system is like a bartering system, which it's NOT.

My definitions of "scalper" and "trader" are clearly distinct and separate. The ultimate difference between them is that the trader enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the markets he serves, whereas the scalper is a simple parasite.

You, sir, are a parasite to the market. And since you are a natural function of our imperfect capitalist system, we accept that as long as you don't suck too much blood or deny your parasitic nature.

But, I provide a service/product to someone who needs it, who in turn, gives me the money I desire. That by definition also makes me a symbiote.

So you provide a service/product that was already there, for someone who needs it, but add extra cost. Hmmm, what school teaches that is a symbiote?

sym·bi·o·sis [sim-bee-oh-sis, -bahy-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun, plural -ses

[-seez] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation.

Biology.

a.	the living together of two dissimilar organisms, as in mutualism, commensalism, amensalism, or parasitism.

b.	(formerly) mutualism (def. 1).

2.	Psychiatry. a relationship between two people in which each person is dependent upon and receives reinforcement, whether beneficial or detrimental, from the other.

3.	Psychoanalysis. the relationship between an infant and its mother in which the infant is dependent on the mother both physically and emotionally.

4. any interdependent or mutually beneficial relationship between two persons, groups, etc.

Just so there's no misunderstanding, there's the definition. I provide a product for someone in need, they provide me money. There's no other getting around that one. Yes it's at a higher price, but they'll only pay if the demand is great enough.
