I say this in every article, but here it is again: money is inherently useless. It is nothing more than a funny-looking piece of paper, or a magnetic state on some hard drive somewhere. Even if you’re one of those people hoarding gold, all you can do with it by yourself is plate your own headphone jacks or make yourself a dental crown. Money’s value lies in its status as a token representing a relationship with other people.
