    Barter was never a thing in daily life. No anthropogist found evidence for that. Trust based systems were used, but those don’t work well when they population increases and interaction with strangers happens more. That’s where currency takes over.

    Why currency is the most important thing right now? Because currency at the moment is status and many people seek a high status on society.
