since my birth all money was counterfeit.

thomas jefferson said "i believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. the issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."

either i'm wrong, with the founding fathers, or the entire world is imbalanced.

the origin of money may lie in gold and silver. this is true. the modern financial system is based on interest and the creation of debt. this too is true. but what does money really represent? how does it circulate, how do some people acquire it, and why are some people cut out of the loop so much?

money, at the root level, is just a unit of exchange. how do you convince people to give you money? work (exchange your time and skilled labor), run your own business (provide goods in demand) or use capital (lend out your 'assets' to someone else). if you can provide value to the economic system, money will find a way to flow back to you. this is not a value judgement, it's just a measure of how 'useful' you are to the economy.

as in the final scences of the matrix, humans represent batteries, human energy batteries. the higher your 'wattage' the higher your 'money'. money is an abstracted form of energy. as measured by economics.
