Is money real? Or are we being "fed" a lie? When you log on to your online account you see your virtual balance. Maybe it makes you feel nice and comfy depending on how many dollars you have. Or maybe you just have a few dollars which sucks.
It's amazing to witness the power of money. From the million dollar athlete to the poor man on the street. The impact of those virtual units is beyond astounding. It changes people. And sometimes for the worst.
Now, no one likes to be broke. Or should I say lacking in virtual dollar units. Because, truthfully, those US dollars you see in your account aren't real. They only have value because of your faith in it.
What happens when the people lose faith? You end up with a Zimbabwe style implosion. People dump their currency units as fast as possible. Then the false illusion reveals itself. That money itself is not real.
