  (iii)   to tolerate an act or situation;

  (h)   any combination of any 2 or more of the matters referred to in paragraphs   (a) to (g).

  (a)   a supply of * money unless the money is provided as * consideration for a supply that is a supply of money or * digital currency; or

  (b)   a supply of digital currency unless the digital currency is provided as consideration for a supply that is a supply of digital currency or money.
