Many of us, every day only think about the problem: MONEY. WHAT IS MONEY?

Many of us, every day only think about the problem: MONEY. Whether it's how to make money, feel no money, have a debt of money, and so on. In fact, many of us think of "problems" of money since waking up to sleep again, maybe even in his dreams are still thinking about money. A mental condition that can be described as deity is MONEY. If I'm in front of you saying "want MONEY?", Waving a bundle of a hundred thousand, you must be agitated as your eyes glance at the MONEY in my hand.

> But have we ever thought a little about what the money really is? When viewed from its history, in the beginning money was a tool to make it easier for humans to exchange goods and services. Remember, initially humans only knew the barter system. Goats are exchanged for rice, farming tools in exchange for pottery, etc. This impracticality is then solved by using a medium of exchange which is considered to have value, namely by gold or silver metal chips. 2 pieces of gold can be exchanged for 1 sheep or 1 pack of rice. This is also considered to be less practical. Born is the idea of โ€‹โ€‹making a "deposit" gold or silver chip house, and then the deposit house (bank house) issued a letter stating that the bearer of the letter has gold or silver as stated in the letter. Practically, no need to carry gold and silver, just pay using paper (bank notes). And if you need "cash", the paper can be exchanged back to the bank.

This system runs long enough, and there is no big problem, because the value stated in the paper is the same as the value of the gold deposit. The central bank is also called "Reserve" because it is the final storage place for gold deposits throughout the country. Up here it's still OK, because what is written in the bank notes (money) is "guaranteed" by the gold / silver it represents.

But what happens next? We take the example of the most deified MONEY eye in the world. US Dollar. A group of creative (or greedy?) People in the United States set up the Federal Reserve. There is something strange about the Fed's name:
- although using the name "Federal", this is a company that was founded and owned privately. To soften, the US government often calls it a "quasi-federal body". (Yes ... most can make the term)
- Although using the name "Reserve" there is no gold deposit at all at the Fed! Hahaha ... cheated ...
Yes, brothers and sisters, the Fed "prints" dollars from the air with value as they please, without any "guarantee". Just "print" on cool paper and just write down the value. And the duty of the US government to make people believe in the value of the dollar. The dollar value is the user's perception, not reflecting the value represented in the number listed in it. The more people god, MONEY, the stronger the value.

This then applies to other MONEY eyes all over the world. The value is un-real, left to "market trust", which is only reflected in the numbers that move on the monitors' screen. MONEY finally becomes something that is not real. In the real world, if there are landlords who have large plantations, and large livestock, issuing "debt securities" is more likely to be believed than those who have no wealth. In our world, which is in the grip of the current monetary system, a country with such rich wealth, its "bank notes" are considered worthless.

So what is MONEY really? Nothing. It is nothing. Only a piece of paper is printed with numbers. There is no guarantee of anything in it. Unlike the idea of โ€‹โ€‹"bank notes" at the beginning of the gold guaranteed. So why do we consider MONEY to have VALUE? MONEY does not have real value except the price of paper and the cost of printing. Indeed the VALUE OF MONEY only appears in our thoughts. MONEY does not have any value and can not do anything except our mind gives value to the MONEY. If you go to an isolated tribe that does not know USD, you will not be able to buy a machete with USD 1,000.

> Furthermore, today's technology has made most of the MONEY today not in the physical form of paper or metal, but only in the form of "DATA" on a computer. It is estimated that currently only approximately 4% of MONEY is in physical form. So MONEY is just data on a computer, whose value is in our minds. So do we still deify something that doesn't even exist and has no real value?
