Cash isn't some magical force on its own—that's a myth people cling to. Without labor behind it? Totally worthless. Think about it: you're stuck on a deserted island clutching a trillion bucks. What good does it do? Zero. Because there's nobody around to work, to build, to create value. Money only becomes leverage when human effort can be directed. Otherwise, it's just paper. Or in crypto terms—numbers on a screen with no network to power them.

I really agree with this logic, but it's just a joke, because in reality, we are all lacking labor force.

Well said, money is just waste paper if no one works.

To be honest, this logic is a bit problematic... Money itself is a product of collaboration, and the assumption of an island doesn't really say anything.

That's right, the trap in the crypto world is the same; it doesn't matter how many chains you have if no one uses them.

Well said, without labor support, money is just a numbers game.
