Money is Fictional

Ownership and Money, Both Very Intangible.

Prior to 1930's you could exchange dollar bills for gold at any bank. There was a real meaning being the dollar bill, but in 1933 we left the gold standard, where we no longer exchange money for gold. When you pay for something online, physical money doesn't transfer hands, its just an electronic update to both computer systems.

The invention of money
