Comment: money has influence, not value.

money is a token of purely psychological influence. It only has influence if it is perceived to have influence (as opposed to, say, violence, which doesn't require psychological acceptance.)

So, money is used to influence the transfer of value. (Much like force is used to influence the movement of mass, or voltage is used to influence the movement of charge). The price of something reflects the influence needed to transfer that something. Price is not value. Eg. air is free - ie. it's price is zero - ie. no influence is needed to acquire it. However, it's value, regardless of zero price, depends upon how short of breath you are.

So, lets say the mass of people create pie. And, as a convenient means to distribute pie, tokens of influence are created. Whoever has more tokens has more influence, and, therefore greater pie access and control. In our system, (fiat) tokens are created at will by, and gravitate to, and are managed by, those who don't create pie. Therefore fiat token creators can transfer influence and power to themselves at will merely by creating more tokens of influence for themselves. Influence-tokens which are sourced and constrained by nature (eg. gold, Bitcoin) would make theft of influence much more difficult. Hence the resistance to gold and Bitcoin.
