You're confusing an object for a concept. What is true for you, is true for me... For instance, if you think you're content; the chances are, you're content with that knowledge. Some people need a teacher to make sense of the world, and some people find out for themselves... Which is more valuable?

Was that something Mohammed taught?

I'm not suggesting money isn't valid. I'm suggesting that, the more people who have what they need to be content, the more people who see it's true value and thus reducing the need to protect the money they have; fraud only occurs when both parties think/feel they need more than they have. Of course there's no perfect system, some people will allways want more than they have/need; the problem we have is, those people are in charge, and doing everthing they can to make sure fraud is viable. I highly doubt Picasso painted because he knew how much money it would make now...

I see little discount to the value of money, in this metric...

A little more light on the subject, could provide an answer...

Israel are a product of their history; doomed to repeat the mistakes, unless enlightened/see more... Tomorrow, it's Palestien's turn to try...

Two rashers of bacon for one egg. Not when there is no actual need involved. How is that relevant to the topic?

Who pays, is a very good question...

Karma is a bitch, if you don't understand why... Context, helps...

There is no utopia, but if most of us just relax a little and except the poor as unlucky gambler's, a better place is possible; for you, at least.

I'm not trying to define money, we all know what it is, I'm trying to explore it's value; and why we tend to place that value as an absolute; rather than it's pupose, which is to make it easier to exchange a pig for some egg's. Not to exchange money for time; it's interesting how we view the practitioner's of this: The poor = gambler with a problem that adversely effect's society. The bank's = gambler with a problem that adversely effect's society. The former we pitty, the latter we praise. If, however, we assign an equal value to both; there is no problem, just two people enjoying what they do.

Gold is no more valuable than paper, if what you need to buy is a loaf and there's none on the shelves.

Look on my world ye mighty and despair...

Indeed, is buying more valuable?

Then you've got to understand, what you think you know...

Knowledge doesn't equal understanding...

I'm guessing you've never been hungry enough... 😉

Nothing comes to stay, in a bubble... If you're hungry enough; you will eat my shit...

Personally, I use money to buy some food and a little whisky...

So, what value do we put on now?

The energy, depends on cost; and not just here and now... Free energy always comes at a cost... 😉

It's just a guess, no-one can know what will be valuable tomorrow... 😉

By convincing other's, that it's worth it...

But everybody can be alive to enjoy it's wealth, if we shared more of the loaf. Whoever defoliates the forest first, is the richest.

Money is not a tool it's a concept, so when we make our money work for us; it asset strip's the future. It's like declaring a leaf as legal tender; we'd all be very rich, by defoliating the forest. Sound's like you've never been a decorator. My point is, everyone has a nieche in society; and that's not always in a job. What's your point? The true value of money is to keep us all alive; to enjoy life. 😉
