This is why I pinned my post in our first interaction. Though it is evident you haven't seen it (no fault here, I realize most people here aren't interested in this sort of thing). So, I'll share with you a graph that I have in there:
10 Forms Of Capital
| Capital | Currency | Utility |
|---|---|---|
| Experiential (E) | Action | Embodied Experience, Wisdom, etc |
| Intellectual (I) | Knowledge | Ideas, Focus, Problem Solving, Skills, etc |
| Spiritual (Sp) | Intention, Faith, Focus, Karma, etc | Grounding, Balance, Attitude, Passion, Love, etc |
| Social (S) | Influence | Connections, Family, Relationships, etc |
| Material (M) | Physical Resources | Tools, Equipment, etc |
| Financial (F) | Money, ONC, Bitcoin, Etc | Mediums of Exchange |
| Living (L) | Living Resources | Soil, Plants, Water, Animals, Air, etc |
| Cultural (C) | Song, Story, Ritual, Ceremony, etc | Community |
| Health/Erotic (H) | Energy, Arousal | Motivation, Vitality, Endurance, Attention, Beauty, Strength, Sex, etc |
| Time (T) | Attention | Our Life! |
So, there are at least 9 other methods to store, retrieve and exchange value.
Only exchange can get a bit difficult (barter) without a proper medium of exchange (money). So. Money can be a medium of exchange without being the store of value. It's a means to an end, not the end itself (at least that is what I'm seeking to create).
For someone so actively against capitalism, it's strange to me why you're so against this idea...
"The most common store of value in modern times has been money, currency, or a commodity like a precious metal, cryptocurrency or financial capital."
"Money is one of the best stores of value because of its liquidity, that is, it can easily be exchanged for other goods and services.[1] An individual's wealth is the total of all stores of value including both monetary and nonmonetary assets."
literally what I'm addressing as a problem here...
