My research has led to a different conclusion. Money is mind control. The earth is abundant and we do not need a medium of exchange. Thought experiment - if everyone on the plant did everything the same as they do throughout the day without exchanging any money, the world would continue to function no problem.
Money is a system of cooperation that humans would "invent" again in a vacuum. 1. Mankind was created with a nature of inventive problem solving, ever since we were cast out of the garden to fend for ourselves. 2. Beyond raising base goods, Mankind immediately ran into the problem of cooperating in the scalable transmutation of those goods into a rich economy that lifted everyone up. 3. Crossing the chasm between barter to a society of money by applying our inventive problem solving to the base goods that we were bartering with, eventually and iteratively arriving at an economy based on a system of gold money. 4. As society grew and our engineering/problem solving improved, computer science emerged, economies became networked, and #Bitcoin was eventually "invented". We would discover/invent #Bitcoin again in a vacuum, the same way we would discover/invent a system of Gold. View quoted note β†’
