Money is an easier way of bartering for goods. I can't well trade an hour of my life to a butcher for 3 lbs of brisket can I?

For my part, I currently sell an hour of my life for $25, so that is the value of a dollar to me. Two and a half minutes.

An hour of your life is cheap to obtain.

Well you just stated you'd trade an hour of your life for a piece of paper that has no value.

Pretty sure I explained the concept of exchanging money for goods and services as a replacement for bartering.... maybe it was too simplified of an explanation, what didn't you understand?

So am I, but I already studied and got my Masters.

At least I get to work where I want and enjoy that.

Pretty sure I explained a dollar doesn't represent any value at all. Its only valuable because people believe its valuable. A dollar is based on Credit. Meaning borrowed valued.

A dollar only has value because people believe it has value. Its like a bit coin. It has value because I business that created it said it did and people started using it to buy with and others accepted is as something valuable. But the truth is it is still only a bit coin and not backed up by any real value.

if a dollar was backup by something that was valuable like gold or silver perhaps you could state it has value. Then you could trade it in for a material that is valuable.

?????


That's how currency works yes.

It has value because the people who trade it believe it has value.

Which is why I can't use Australian currency in America because it doesn't have value there. I'm not sure why you think the concept of currency is worthless I'd be thrilled to.hear what you work for, if not.for money.
