getAlby.com (npub1flm…rg9q) matata (npub1rq9…2r93) this discussion is awesome!
Funny how the world works. I just finished a podcast that broke this exact discussion down into detail.
The fact that money (Fiat) is a creation of the state to wield power/control and the “faith” we have in it is all that is backing it.
As for the market/s they are absolutely a manifestation of the necessity to exchange energy/value between populace. We have used many things as money (sea shells, glass beads, sharks teeth) and they had value because we agreed they did. That agreement gives us the “faith” in said “monetary system”.
