The lie we believe in: A society cannot function without money!
Let's pretend that money does not exist. What will happen and what will be the pros and cons? And why I do believe in removing money.
What is money?
A piece of paper that control your thoughts. This useless shit has value in our head when in reality it has 0 value. We always think about how to acquire more money. Every thought has something to do with money. What if we remove it? What are you going to think about then?
The myths surrounding money
The first myth is that we will become lazy and unproductive. In my opinions, this is total bullshit. Just pretend that you have everything for free. You have a guitar, you have drums, you can basically do everything without thinking of how to acquire pieces of paper first. Would that make you more unproductive or the other way around? Make you even more creative and productive. It will open so many doors that you will never be unproductive. It will make every day different.
Or secondly, people may say that we will stop inventing new things because money is no longer a factor. We would still invent new things in order for us to evolve as a species. One example: You want to explore space? You would create a rocket or even invent a spaceship even when money is not stimulating you to do so. You want free energy and you want to stop the pollution? You will invent something in order for you to achieve that. We would invent more stuff for society and less for ourselves because money is not a factor. Why do we have silly products? Why do we spend time creating something super shitty but addictive? Because money is still a factor. If we remove money we would invent things which are helpful to us. We will stop thinking egoistically.
Benefits
Theft rates will get lower. Let me ask you something: Why do people steal in the first place? What do they get? They get money like it is so obvious. You remove money you remove the stimulus for people to steal. If they can have everything like you have why would they steal?
"But...but how would we get food? There would be too many people wanting food from the supermarkets."
We will grow our own food. Like the food in the stores are not cancerous enough for us to start growing. This will stimulate us to grow food and eat only organic and not suffer from illnesses which are caused by the cancerous foods in the markets right now. Another benefit if you think about it. We can even end world hunger, money is making us greedy and without it, we will be more loving and giving.
But what about chocolate?
There will be less diversity, but quality over quantity, right? I mean if you really want to find a chocolate bar you will, there will just not be any supermarkets.
The pyramid of power will collapse
As we know, power is gained by money. Money is equal power. More money more power over other human beings. The pyramid of power is based on the money where at the top are the rich bankers who are only there because of their theft. They stole money and gained power and they are till this day stealing from us to gain more power. If we do not do anything about it we will eventually end up in a situation where these bankers own everything and we have to pay rent to them. We will end up in a cashless society where the money will have even less value because it will be just digits on a screen. They will basically control you with an illusion. An illusion in your head.
How can we stop this? We can remove money. Money is the key to their success. If there is no money for them to steal they can't say that they are powerful, because, in fact, they aren't. Power is gained by money, that was why money was created. To be used as a dividing tool for power. We are divided and the people on top exploit every single one below them.
Cons
There will be chaos in the beginning. We have not lived without money for quite a time so people will need time to adapt to it. Basically, people will need to become more productive because they will need to grow their food.
Another problem will be the free aspect of everything, I mean we can grow food, but when it comes to rare items where we are limitless, there can be no solution. How can we determine who gets the only painting by a famous painter? Or who gets the only diamond car? Here we have a problem, but a solution may be possible if there is money just for the rare items. I will talk about this below.
A middle ground
We can clearly see that from a technological perspective we are getting closer to a system without money, where robots can do everything we do right now. Removing money will solve a lot of problems, but it may cause other as well. There may be a solution to everything and that is not the entire removal of money, but the removal of a need of money for human survivability. Let say tomorrow we do not have to work to live. This means that you will live even without your work, but if you want to buy something more, like a car, for example, you will need to work for it. Maybe this will fix some problems and it is the better solution. Maybe the entire removal of money is the way to go. Please let me know what you think by writing a comment.
In conclusion
Money will be less of a necessity in the future if we create robots and not AI because I do not believe in AI. But we can also fuck ourselves by making money on screens our currency. We will get dependent not on paper money, but on pure digits on the screen which will make our slavery even more imaginary. I do believe in the removal of money, maybe not in the complete, maybe even inventing new currency for luxury items and making our living free. I do 100% support the removing of money for human needs like water, food and home. We are not born to work and this has to be a choice. We think we are smarter than animals, but I don't see monkeys enslaving each other. Let me hear what you think of this problem. Not as many people think of this because we are thought to be hungry for money because the systems depend on you being hungry for money. Money is the fuel for the elite. Be more open-minded and think about the future and how we can truly live like humans and not like animals in a cage. I do believe it is possible for us to live without money and have all the needs like today. The people in charge are lying and are still lying about us not functioning without money and without them. But they are the problem in the first place. Thank you for reading this and have a nice day. God Bless and Peace!

I totally agree! Money is just numbers and nothing else.
If you want to control someone , you must convince him that he must have something...in this case money. Then you manipulate the system in your favor...banks and no one else can create money from air. And there you go...system of control in place.
Sooner or later we will live without money. In my opinion cryptos are our response of creating money from nothing, but more important in my opinion it is our way of detoxing from money system at all. No change came over night, so in money case it has to go by cryptos first.
Fuck money fuck everything, nothing can ever change if we don't change our perception into heart perspective. When we will have that perspective, we will built world that will mirror our perception. So above, so bellow. I know this can sound to some like 'New age' bs, but it's not. Let imagine that we have utopia without any kind of money. Would that system work if people animating the system are self obsessed individuals who are only trying to see how they can benefit from the system? No, it won't work. The reason is obvious...System don't exist, it is not some living being. Only thing that exist is our perception and when we change that everything will change.
Mo(o)ney...system brought by visitors on spaceship Moon.
I share your sentiment @krisstofer, but I believe it is greed that is the problem, not the tokens we use to make swapping things just so much easier.
It is the 'evil demons' that take charge of some people's personalities that have them crave the power that comes with accumulating lots of these value representing tokens we call money. Lots of these tokens means lots of purchasing power and lots of purchasing power gives these 'demon dominated' fools the power to control and manipulate and exploit and do whatever they want to.
But if we can devise a trading system in which it is only possible to accumulate enough purchasing power and wealth by being productive to live safely and comfortably on and in which it is so that even the disabled will have enough purchasing power to survive on, then no one will have any excuse for having to commit crime due to poverty and the 'evil demons' will be easier to suppress, if you follow what I mean.
And I am confident that such a system is perfectly possible to create using blockchain technology. Lets just hope and pray and work for it to happen soon!
Blessings to you - you heart and mind are tuned just fine!
