Is money the worst thing that was ever invented?

[Kingofkings1992]

I think it is. It tears families apart, changes who people are, and not having enough of it can cause severe mental health problems. All for a stupid piece of paper you can’t take with you when you go

Yes

No

Gold, silver and copper coins didn't lose value due inflation, of course some Monarchs made coins lighter due their greed but old coins still had its metal value. Than came gold and silver parity, which of course was just a joke because there was much more money bills printed than gold and silver that covered value of any bill. 1992 Swiss Frank lost as last currency gold parity, since then is every currency just fiat money (currency that is not backed in any commodity). A time long banks told people the fairy tale that money is backed in debts, but since debt crisis 2009 it's not true.
I wouldn't say money is per definition evil, it's just the fact that people in power use it to rob the pleb make current type of money we use evil or rather worthless.

Not at all! Money is a store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange that can be used to purchase the necessities of life like food, water, clothing, and shelter. Not to mention the luxuries of life. Without money the economy would crash and we would force to barter for the necessities of life.

The bartering thing was proven to be a myth and factually false. Many societies cooperated in a communal and gift exchange traditions and practices. So it is possible for society to exist and flourish without money contrary to what you may have been taught. Money is just a piece of paper with no value and it is not needed for us to cooperate so why not take out the middle man?

money is a place-holder so you don't have to figure out how many wedges of Vermont Cheddar are needed to trade for a new exhaust system for a 69 Camero, or whatever. stupid people use it to define success, when it basically really only defines greed and selfishness and is the reason rich people keep making pollution and suffering for profit... but hey, humans can certainly go extinct from bad ideas - 100% possible

[slatyb]

If it didn't exist, it would just be reinvented. People have been trading for millennia so there has always been some exchange rate between different goods -- two beaver pelts equals one blanket. Money just makes that more convenient. The only way for everyone to have the same wealth is for no one to have anything.

[NaultD]

It's nessary. Being a fisherman dosen't build a nice home. A craft member needs to eat. If there was only one middle man money is that nessary evil.

[midnightmoon05]

Last sentence is key… not money… human behavior.

It’s easier to carry around than a sheep
