    The illusion of money is one that we never really think about. But just like the Kings of old, the governments of today understand the power of money and, as always, want more of it.

    I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?

      Avert too-good-to-be-true con tricks. Consult a fiduciary counselor; these professionals are among the best in the business and offer individualized guidance to clients based on their risk tolerance. There are undesirable ones, but some with a solid track record can be excellent.

      Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k

    I'm confused about what you said. Precious metals offer intrinsic value, stability during economic uncertainty, and diversification benefits, no doubt, but why choose that when the economy is riding on new corporate growths and breakthroughs? I wouldn't be putting capital to buy silver and gold if my stock portfolio can give me a 40% ROI.

      'Stock portfolio' is a vague term, assuming you're talking about strictly and only stocks, the company is able to do a what's called a stock split. Basically just double the amount of total shares. They can do this an infinite amount of times. The share itself is not scarce. Silver, gold, and even platinum is. It all goes back to the topic of scarcity, which makes things valuable, not just what a number on a screen says.

It sounds great to be like "a man who focuses on getting money never lives" but a man without money who doesnt focus on money is useless in society and will end up homeless or locked up somewhere. You dont really have a choice to not play the game. You either play for a chance to win or lose or accept defeat out right, that is society.

      @@mikekemp5863 I agree, Mike. We have to try to think clearly about money. It's worth working hard enough to earn enough money so that your basic needs are met and you can also afford some pleasures in life. However, it's easy to fall into the trap of having an obsessive-compulsive attitude to money where you can never get enough. You might neglect relationships and leisure time because you are obsessed with getting ever more money. In that case, you've lost track of the whole point of money, which is to meet your needs and also to give you some pleasures. This is an easy trap to fall into as you may be a parent whose children endlessly ask for more and more electronic gadgets etc. It's important to be able to say yes some of the time and no some of the time, too. Men, in particular, can be exploited by their families as money-making-machines. We should guard against that. One thing is for sure - we need to have a steady supply of money in order to function successfully in our society. A job or some investments or both can help with that.

    Even those assets that are not fiat are worthless.
    Land, property, gold, silver, crypto, anything. There is no inherent value to these things. The only reason why we think metals like gold and silver are worth something is as mentioned, because of scarcity. But why? What about scarcity makes a lump of metal worth something? Until you narrow it down, something like gold will never have any true worth to an average person beyond what worth we give it. But if you give that chunk of gold to an electronics manufacturing company they'll happily take it because it's worth is decided by it's usefulness. But in the event of complete hyperinflation or collapse of all fiat currency, nothing like that can survive. It would be a financial apocalypse and society would fall apart. And if that happens, your gold and silver (which you may not even physically own) will not be worth anything. Your land and property can be taken by force. Your cryptocurrency, lost to the crumbling digital infrastructure around you. This IS all a game. And if it's an illusion then so is everything in it. The only thing that is truly valuable to us, is what can satisfy our current and immediate needs. And if the economic facade that we have today fails, the true currency will be food, water and supplies that can help people survive till the next day. Until a system like this rises again.

Trade wasn't hugely important in the Neolithic times as populations were scattered and often very small and the things they needed would then have been distributed in what you could call, though anachronistically, a more collectivist way.
      But if we're gonna talk about the invention of money, it might've been better if you took a look at debt which is the earliest recorded monetary system with borrowers and debtors in ancient Mesopotamia. Furthermore, the "invention of money" was also contemporary with the rise of strict hierarchies and stratified social order and to justify war, power, and other forms of state oppression. This is evidenced by physical archaeological findings, so to give this a sort of natural progression is erroneous and does not give the rest of your video much in terms of reliability.

      Money is neutral. It provides an opportunity for us to gain some things that we want. The difficulty for many people is deciding what matters most to them. Money can get you a place to live but do you also want a large place that impresses your friends? If you have rather insecure friendships, that might be worth paying for - if you can afford it. Money can also buy you a holiday to refresh you. Are you going to have such a lavish holiday that you go into debt and then have the worry of interest rates inflating your debt? Or are you going to have a more modest holiday that doesn't create future stress for you as you pay off your debts? We need insight into ourselves when we have money and we need to think over what our priorities really are and what our needs might be in the future and also what our income might be like in the future so that we don't waste money that we need later.

      Hi Ishan, I think the trick is to decide how important money is to you but to not expect too much of it. It can buy you practical things to make your life more manageable. It can buy you the dignity of having a place to live and decent clothes to wear and transport to move around your community etc. It can help you to be prepared for unexpected events in your future. Those things are all important. However it can't buy you inner peace or a sense of meaning but it could help you to reorganize your life a bit so that those goals are more readily attainable for you. It's worth working hard to get enough money but it's also worth trying to spend time on friendship and kindness and peaceful times in your life. Each person has to adjust their priorities every now and then to keep a balance between getting enough money to have the life you want and also having other more intangible values in your life.

    People can live great lives without money or trade. Native Australians lived for 60 thousand years as hunter gatherers. When Captain James Cook first landed in Australia he was in a location in the north of the country. He was observing the aboriginal peoples. He stated that they were the happiest people in the world. Traveling to remote islands in Papua New Guinea I interacted with the local islanders. Despite having no money the community were very happy. I remember listening to a woman who survived the holocaust in a concentration camp. She stated if, when finding banknotes in coat pockets of the dead the notes where used to wipe their backsides after going to the toilet.

    I really enjoyed this video. It was well-researched and informative, and it raised some important questions about the current monetary system. I agree with Max Keiser that money is a social construct, and that its value is determined by supply and demand. I also agree that the current monetary system is unsustainable, and that we need to find a new system that is based on sound money. I think this video is a must-watch for anyone who is interested in learning more about money and economics

      Crypt0 is pretty profitable at the moment. but if you do the right math, you should be just fine.

    1:06, I remember reading that the barter system may never have actually occurred at all. There doesn't appear to be much actual evidence of it occurring, I believe this was discussed in the book Debt: The First 5,000 Years which talks about how before money existed people used debt for currency.

      That's ridiculous. People have bartered since the dawn of time and still barter to this day. Sure, today the dollar is more common but many people (if not everyone) still barters here and there. If you mean as the predominate means of exchange.....ok. Sure, that could be true but probably not. And even if so, it doesn't matter much. People have always and will always barter.

I'm mostly referring to the dominant bartering system that many of us are taught about growing up. Simply because something is so widely held as being true doesn't make it true on its own so it's nice to see the space being made to question long-held beliefs or ideas.

That's why they are "long held truths".

      The idea that you or I believe in bartering because some teacher making 28 grand a year told us so is something a simpleton would think. Bartering existed and still exists today because we can see it. Anyone with two functioning eyeballs and a brain can see a myriad of examples everywhere. You just seem like a neckbeard who wants to be contrarian for some pathetic ego driven reason. You can do better.

      Hi Mr Caramel, I think that happiness is a very vague word. I think it is worth asking more specific questions about what you want money to do for you. You may want good health so money can buy you healthy food and a gym membership and some medical insurance. Money can't buy you sincere friends but it can buy you pleasant activities e.g. seeing a movie together or going dancing with friends, so that you can build your existing friendships. Paying for a superannuation scheme can buy you a more secure old age. If you have a good job, you may be able to pay for holidays to refresh you. Money can't buy you inner peace but it can buy you a membership of the Calm App so you can build up a habit of meditation. It's worth working quite hard to ensure that you have enough money but then it's important to not fall into the trap of paying for lots of things on your credit card so that you have the stress of huge debts. And it's also important to not spend so much time preoccupied with work and money that you have no time to relax and enjoy your life. It's quite difficult to balance all these things, as everyone finds.
