Or they do but I feel like the gravity of the statement alone never really registers

Was recently reading a book written a long ass time ago by some Brit where he talked about how a lot of the value in currency (coins and paper of the time) came from the fact that they were all tangible

And now wealth/money is completely digital. Of course the fed still prints shit, but with the amount of people who use Apple Pay/venmo to exchange “money” from person to person?

Actually, does anyone know what I’m trying to say rn? Is money just a Trojan horse?

    Bruz, we live with a world so absurd yet the only familiar one we know so much of that we have to live and adapt to it...

    Idc if money's a social construct, its use as a tool to buy, sell, credit or endebt someone. etc. is still clear and powerful to anyone
