You realise that applies to “real money” too right?

"Real money" is also like this, bank balances etc.

Money is real.

icedchai | karma 8478 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2020-04-22 17:26:11

Consider "real money" is also just bits changing hands. Especially when it's not yours.

As long as you can use it to buy things and pay taxes, your money is real.

Is any money real money, by that logic?

Well, if by "real" you don't mean "constrained by the limitations of physical reality" then sure. But that also depends on what your definition of money is. Note, it might not be the same as others'.

Real money would be any instrument that's based on work already performed instead of work promised to be performed in the future, i.e. not debt based.

No because this uses real money

What is “real money” in our current system?

refurb | karma 27208 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2021-12-13 19:04:51

Money is real, it’s how we pay for medical care, welfare, etc.

fastball | karma 11107 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2023-12-10 19:48:54

Actually money is money.

MadManE | karma 202 | avg karma 1.14 · | 2015-10-21 19:02:08+00:00

When you use real money, things are cheaper.

tomatowurst | karma 627 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2022-05-28 16:02:25

its not real money

mark-r | karma 5759 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2020-11-23 17:21:53

As long as you can still buy things of real value using money, the money itself has value.

euroderf | karma 2838 | avg karma 0.82 · | 2022-06-25 01:04:57

So I guess it's true, the only real money is Murrcan money

LargeTomato | karma 1111 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2024-02-11 18:04:40

If your argument reduces to "money isn't real, it just stands for something real" then I'm just not sure you and I are going to have a constructive discussion.
