Not really a lie, just an agreed upon standard of exchange. Money has no value in the same way that a gram has no meaning…its simply a measure of value (or mass) that we all agreed to use to allow society to function.
Things fall apart pretty damn fast when the guy that owns the gas station can’t sell fuel to the farmer because the farmer only has corn to trade, and the fueler doesn’t need corn right now.
The value of money is in its utility as a means of translating temporal activities into physical assets. It is a method of accredited accounting and useful as such.
money is a lie, it has no value.

Agreed. When I need a medium of exchange, unit of account, and/or store of value, I just use
i too love using throughout my day, it’s especially useful during situations.
Go to the store and get some food without it then.
Money has no value if you can run fast enough
you dont need a store to get food.
Just because millions of people fall for the same trick doesn’t mean it’s anything but just that.

I mean sure money itself is just a token, but it’s an evolution from trading goods and services for other people’s goods and services, right?
You trade your time for tokens to exchange for something valuable to you, instead of being paid in food/accommodation directly.
I don’t think you’d be happy if you went back to the days where you needed to trade actual items to get a loaf of bread.
