yes

you said yourself, you can use your money for whatever you want

You can't argue with someone who thinks private property and personal property is the same @DA GOMMIE JOO

Maybe I don’t want to buy anything with the dollar

Maybe I want to save it and buy something more expensive that does have value to me

that doesn't change the fact that you can do it if you choose

it's not about what you want
it's about what is capable

The thing purchased may not have value to me

With the single dollar

(can't believe I'm about to say this)
facts don't care about your feelings

So now you are getting into utility function

Feels>>>reals poster spotted

Utility doesn’t mean value

the dollar is designed to be a universal indicator of value

the whole point of a dollar is that it has value

all things have a dollar price

$1 million could be worth nothing to me

If I am rich

but does the bank care?

Therefore you could give it to those who need it

Do you understand?

if you deposit that one million, does the bank get a deposit of 0 dollars?

Yeah, my social standing among other people could be worth more, so I could give it to those in need to boost that

can you just take a loaf of bread if it means nothing to you?

Redistribution of wealth

walk into a grocery store tonight and take something that you don't need or want
you're still going to get arrested for taking something that is worth a certain amount of currency

our entire system is built on the idea that a dollar has a certain value

if the dollar's value changed, then it would be impossible to buy or sell anything

Maybe I’m allergic to bread

because nobody would agree on prices

You never know what my values are

that's
*not*
***relevant***

Only I do

Which makes them entirely subjective

you're just gonna ignore all that?

the whole "our system is built on the value of currency"?

You’re ignoring that fact

that spiel?

our system isn't built on the value of currency?

money is just paper with ink
it should be worth basically nothing
but people spend their entire lives hoarding it

Nothing has intrinsic value
