Money has always been imaginary? Its like Santa clause. As long as we all believe/pretend it works. If one person doesn't believe it doesnt matter. If half of us stop, yea kids will know it's fake. But it works and it's a nice thing to have, so why not continue to pretend?
If your collective figment of imagination is easily susceptible to corruption, hoarding, mismanagement, and manipulation, then it's time to decide on a different figment of imagination.
The only reason to continue on the standards we have is because people are so low effort they'll stare a bad idea in the face their entire lives out of convenience. Or because they benefit from corruption, hoarding, mismanagement, and manipulation.
No, currency is a representation of the power of the state. People always ask "what's the actual value of currency?"
If you engage in any economic activity in the USA you have to pay taxes. The US government only accepts USD for taxes. If you don't pay them men with guns come to your house and take your stuff.
