Maybe that worked when you knew everyone in town or that they’d be where you can find them again, but not in a global economy. You can’t lend Joe Random 3 goats and he will pay you back if he simply is in another country doing business or is in town for the weekend. Try getting in your car and telling a random shop you don’t have cash but you’ll pay them back. This logic goes out the window as soon as you involve strangers.

Money isn’t real but the idea everyone agrees on subconsciously is it is a medium of exchange.
You have a goat and I have 50 apples. You want my apples but I don’t want your goat. OK. Bye bye, good luck finding the next customer.
Or
Sell the goat for the value of 50 apples, and then I can turn that into the new lamp I wanted instead.
Not everyone wants a goat but if you can float the value of something as an IOU (cash) then it’s useful.
Same reason why people like crypto, it’s the idea of cash but with math securing it’s scarcity vs guns and vaults of gold.

This is what my computer is showing, as well as my coworkers. It’s real.
Google just removed Joe Biden from presidents search.
Look up US Presidents.
Or President 2020
It shows trump twice and Biden is removed. 1984 democrats never existed duh.
All tech giants are in bed together now.
I’m confused, your first post is about how we need to go back to bartering and personal debt one on one without involving banks or money, and now you are advocating credit cards? What’s the message here? Those are 2 different things.
