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

to get back into basic economics, the whole use value of currency *is* its exchange value

it is useful in that it is exchangable

people agree on this exchange value

you want to expand the system, more people have to agree on the same value

if you want to take part in capitalism, then you must agree that the currency is worth a set amount
otherwise, you will get nowhere

All the value is determined subjectively by the consumer

do you have alzheimer's or something

if money is worth nothing according to my values, can I just take all the money out of the bank?

You simply cannot know what has objective value or not

can I just ask for it all?
just shrug off their complaints with "it's all subjective"?

Does the value of a currency fluctuate or not?

You wouldn’t be able to make money trading currency if it didn’t

Everything changes in value for a variety of reasons

is that caused by major shifts in values?

a large group of people thinking collectively?

This is why price controls in a socialist system don’t work

As you see in Venezuela
