Money in the non-fiat-currency sense is just ad-hoc credit or debt, though.
Which worked fine for buying crisps from your local shop pre fiat.
worriers about the immaterial nature of fiat currencies seem unlikely to be much happier with everyone continually issuing their own currencies in the form of tabs, tally sticks and reputation.
That may not work so well, crypto stuff might well help there. I dunno really either but I can see how currently the monetary system doesn't to work in a lot of ways for a lot of the earth's population.
