It's important to buy food with … is this important to you ?

True, I do need food. Though food isn't only gotten through purchase. Hunting and gathering was around long before coinage.

Unless I hunt and gather from neighbor's fridge, cupboards, closets, it's gonna be hard to hunt and gather food and materials for clothing shoes and making those bow and arrows

Money is the commonly used unit of energy exchange. It is human energy condensed into easily swappable bits.

Money is incredibly convenient as a means of value between things that are often hard to value individually. Money is convenient but not absolutely necessary. Though I won't deny that without money civilisation wouldn't be what it is today.

I've just come to look at it as an expression of energy exchange.

I quite like that view, it makes sense for what it does. Food for clothing etc. Thanks for another perspective

Once I started looking at it that way, the exchange rates seemed so totally screwed (like they are) and govt and corporates seemed so insanely parasitic (like they are) like you are not even remotely entitled to your own energy output. That is siphoned up and away from you so fast you don't even get to see it. To power "bigger and better" machinations. With your energy. This is literally the matrix, figuratively.

Really interesting view. Yourve given me some cool ideas for my dnd world. To continue however, how would you view time as a currency? Or is that somewhat mixed with coinage (or money currency) If our money is the conversion of energy to someone else, our time is even more so?
