In a completely unsurprising story out of Manhattan, NY, the words “money isn’t everything” were just spoken at brunch by someone who, conveniently, has lots of it.

No person is wholly self-sufficient. Every person depends on the efforts of other people to live, survive, and thrive. Those efforts have value, and so we exchange value to other people for what we cannot supply for ourselves.

Money is a fantastic way to do that. Money is what we all agree represents value.

Well, that's what it's supposed to be, but in today's digital world it is increasingly becoming only what a small handful of people agree represents value.
