I'm reading Ricardo from 1817 about how money, gold at that time, but paper as well, is variable in value depending on trade and other considerations, on a nation by nation basis.
Gold, silver, crypto, fiat, everything, has no real bottom. It's turtles all the way down.
Money, regardless of the type (seashells, gold, silver, paper) is essential in all advanced societies as it allows for trade other than direct barter. Maybe I don't want your chickens in exchange for my shoes.
Taxation is also inevitable, whether it's Pharaoh taking 20% of your crops or you having to work on the labor gang building a pyramid or your property taxes and sales taxes. Hell, in cave man days you gave gifts to the chief to stay on his good side, which is nothing but taxes as well.
If only there was a digital for of money without a person as an intermediary… oh wait that’s exactly what the true cryptos are trying to accomplish, like Monero
