Comment on Why is currency so essential?
Daft_ish@lemmy.world 7 months agoThis is the crux of it. Currency is essential because it allows people to exchange goods and services in a timely manner. What it is used for today is not essential to individuals.

Step 1: Hoard a bunch of stuff no one really cares about.
Step 2: Wait until you’ve hoarded the majority of that stuff in your local area.
Step 3: Start telling people how important the thing you’ve been hoarding is.
Step 4: People are dumb and actually start believing the useless thing you’ve hoarded is actually important.
Step 5: Enjoy your new status as the man who convinced everyone something completely useless was important.
