The quest for money takes us to unprecedented locations/situations in life and this is one aspect of human existence that has intrigued me for a long time. Money is an interesting entity, a necessity if you may that one must possess to stand a chance of surviving in this world.

If we were to consider money in the direct sense, it is basically any item that carries value and can be used as a means to procure other items. For most, the concept of money is the traditional fiat system, but it actually transcends those basic concepts.

Money is a lot of things; it is the the barrier between various classes of humans because the more of it you have/earn, the more shit you can afford. It is what offers people the luxury lifestyle, and lack of thereof is the reason for poverty.

I think of money as a tool that is craftily designed to be used to get more money. That's why irrespective of the financial system and various Government's attempts to distribute wealth evenly, the rich will always keep getting richer. That's because the higher class have more than enough for their basic needs and can invest the rest in ideas and plans that reap more benefits.

I also find it rather interesting that we have to toil so hard to acquire money yet it is an item that gets printed based on monetary policies. Events of recent times have opened our eyes to the frailties of Government-run financial systems, and with crypto, at least we've found a way to work around that aspect of it.

All I'm trying to say is that coming to terms with how money works, and taking a step back to evaluate the financial system used in your country is very important and something that should be discussed more often than not. People in the upper class have had this knowledge and monopolised it for a long time, now it's slowly seeping out and we're getting interested. That ceiling can't hold us for long and with more understanding and work, we'll be knocking down the barrier and crossing over.
