Money, no matter how much of it you have or believe you have is only as valuable as everyone believes it to be.
It’s a modern day religion.
the thing that causes the dollar to have value is the fact that the US government demands that the people pay a certain amount of taxes in USdollars. if you can’t pay that, you go to jail.
so, the dollar is an extension of military power. they’re forcing you to do something, but instead of sending the military to your door directly and abducting you, they instead require that you either have a certain amount of dollars or they will send the military/police to your door. it’s a placeholder for military power.
