One thing I learned from cryptocurrency and now social-fi platforms like Farcaster is that money is completely fake and bears no necessary relation to labor as most people had assumed and continue to believe. Its possible to literally generate money out of thin air using clever tricks and obfuscations. Of course people in finance already knew this years ago and the knowledge has simply become a bit more democratized.
