It's paper
IT'S JUST FUCKING PAPER
It's paper
Welcome to the club pal it's miserable here
It's a representation of the value you add to society through the problems you solve
People kill each other every day over counterfeit notes to a rapidly inflating currency.
Actually it’s cotton
If it makes you feel any better, it's actually more like a cloth...
The real power is in the transaction: not the physical exchange or even the change of numbers, but the very fundamental concept of "values moving around".
This shit's got backing, and that backing is faith.
The banks want to keep track of the quantity, but what's the point? The value is not in the numbers.
Could be worse. Could be crypto.
It is not just paper. That is freedom incarnate, and that is why people have so many emotional problems with it.

It's closer to a fabric, but it's not the actual "money" itself. It's a physical representation of money. It even says as such on each bill.
The "note" part is because the money represents something of value that you can't carry around as easily as a bill.
Now these days there's nothing actually backing up the value of a dollar bill, but that's not important your post.
Jews have been pocketing the gold and just using only a printing press based on nothing for centuries. Did you just now realize the years of swindle? Rothschilds got their start by selling the gold and giving the Brits and French worthless notes.
Uhhh no thats a nigger..
>hmm, I should buy some random stocks
>it goes 1000%+
>wow! I'm adding so much value to society by solving so much problems by flipping numbers!
Its clown reserve currency
>there's nothing actually backing up
A crack head will kill for that amount of paper $1 bills. Don't tell me there is nothing backing it up, If nothing else, crack heads are backing up the value of that paper.
Freedom is slavery
Its cloth actually. Not paper.
>gold
Gold is actually worth less than paper money because crack heads will go for the paper dollars before they will go for the gold.
gold is just gold
>IT'S JUST FUCKING PAPER
So it's the Bible. So are contracts. What's your point.
Only if I spend it on cars, hookers and cocaine or there abouts.
Crack heads will go for crack before either of your examples, but it's utility as a currency is pretty poor.
You are in the middle of a desert, you need a bottle of water to survive enough to get out of it. A genie appears and offers you two choices: A bottle of water, or money/gold/bitcoins/whatever that are worth 1000000000 of bottles.
Which choice do you pick?
Yes, but it is easier to get more crack with the cash than the gold. They would have to go to pawn shop to sell the gold to get the cash before they could get more crack with it.
Hmm something is off about your dollars user.
lol $2 bill
Also, I am being spiteful and trolling. I am happy to continue this line of thinking, but if you don't want to, I totally understand that as well.
>It's a representation of the value you add to society through the problems you solve
Yes. Solving problems like how to stop the working class from owning homes can make you very wealthy.
Does silver ward off crackheads like gold?
And it’s backed by God. A very important piece of the puzzle.
Speculation doesn't add value or solve problems. That's not what I was saying at all. Surgeons make more than landscapers because the problems they solve a more complex
I would pick the crack. Because then I could offer to give the crack to a crack head in exchange for both the gold and the water, and that crack head would straight up murder the genie, and grab both the gold and the water.
Something to think about in your end of the world prepping.
some guy infront of me asked for a stack of $2 bills in the bank, I didn't know they did that so i bought 2 stacks, most were used at strip clubs.
So? Trade it for real money.
What happens when we reach 0?
in modern society, being enslaved is free
You cant answer honestly and need to go for the "muh trolling" route huh?
It's not even that anymore. It's just bits of data now. Money only has value because we keep believing it does. It's not backed by anything other than faith. The moment people stop believing in it, our money just becomes a meaningless number on a screen.
