    Actual money is not theoretical money as such, don’t conflate the theoretical nature of money with the subject at hand. Kind of discredits you that you made that argument.

      All money is theoretical, even commodity backed money or commodities themselves are only worth what you can exchange for them, in that regard the $5 in your pocket is exactly as “real” as a stock Elon has with $5 you can both use it to purchase $5 worth of stuff.

      Kind of discredits you that you made that argument.

      Nah, saying shit like that actually discredits you though.
