Everyone freaking out right now, assigning blame, or beating themselves up for making mistakes or giving out advice that turned out stupid:
You have lost the plot.
It is only money.
Discussion
money is supposed to be the record of your success at serving your fellow man/woman/thing
so, it does matter, but they are worrying a lot about the Man trying to distort the record, and that's all it is... the Man will not distort the record
exhibit A: #bitcoin
exhibit B: #nostr
It does matter, but not as much as everyone thinks. People are more important than success.
indeed, errors in the record are inevitable
but we are here because we want to limit the error rate
100 true, but money is also my saved energy, that I want to keep for myself or my spendings. Not in the matter of focusing my life on money. I just want to make sure, that nobody can be empowered by stealing my energy.
