Elon Musk explains what money is? A paradigm shift! Money is not really money at all

If you were stranded on a deserted island, would having a trillion dollars in your bank account be useful? The answer is that a bowl of hot soup is more useful than those numbers!

Elon Musk said in an interview that many people think that economy equals money, but they are completely wrong. Money is just a “database” used to record and exchange goods and services; it has no inherent power.

Even if you own all the Bitcoin in the world, you would still starve on a deserted island. What can truly save your life is always that bowl of hot soup, that piece of clothing. Real economy is tangible goods and services, not the numbers bouncing in your account. Money is just a tool, not the goal.
