I like that view. I am of the opinion that currency, while a successful solution to trading - when the buyer has nothing of interest to the seller, money and the valuation of both parties' skillsets can be an intermediary, allowing amicable trade for otherwise incompatible trade - it has long been used to cause harm through greed, exclusivity and control etc. and has caused widespread avarice and obsession. Few people seem to recall what community and life without this enamour and worry with currency was like. Before all land was claimed and monetised by those who claimed power, and before every human was financially and heavily indebted to the applicable governments simply for existing.

Currency without malicious control shows promise. At some point society will need to figure out how to restart without currency becoming misused again.
