let's use two examples so you can see for yourself. don't just take my word for it, after all. first let's starts with a situation on a remote island: > be on an island with 2 coconuts and 2 bananas > make hollow coconuts your currency > 1 coconut buys 1 banana > some subversive faggot hollows out 1 million coconuts he created out of thin air  > he gives them to the islanders > 1 banana now costs 500,001 coconuts in this example, it is clear to see the role of currency. it acts as a unit of exchange, a stand in as an indicator of universal value. here is another example using a pizza. > a pizza is cut into 8 slices  > 2 slices of pizza for lunch used to be enough  > now ever since they started cutting the pizza into 12 slices, it isn't enough. > i am still hungry because... a.) they are giving people 2 slices of pizza for lunch. b.) corporations are greedy pricks c.) the slices of pizza (dollars) are smaller now it is your turn to decide. a, b, or c?
