True, but in terms of practical meaning, money is a proxy for time invested with beneficial outcome. If money increases in value over time, while the beneficial outcomes lose value (spoiled goods, unnecessary/obsolete services) them this creates a problem.

There could exist a hypothetical situation where nobody needs to work because all have some money saved up, but now there is no food being produced so your "saved up time" cannot buy you the necessity anymore.

I’m sorry but this is literally not possible.

The only reason money goes up in value is because the value and supply of goods goes up.

You are suggesting something that is entirely antithetical in a fundamental sense to what causes prices changes to begin with.

Theres fundamentally no reality where what you describe it possible.

Lol, no. Money only increases in value if there are more goods/services to buy. If the supply of goods & services falls then the value of money falls.

The services that a human would have likely to purchase 10000 years ago are the same he would purchase today. They are not become obsolete, they arent likely to become obsolete in the future. Tldr: scarce resources could became temporary or permanently less scarce, but they still are subject to thermodynamic laws; so they will remain scarce. You want to detain the scarcest resouce from the most liquids, the "better time machine" to preserve value across time.

Things mans was buying 10000 years ago and things you buy today will still be scarce in future. Money is time-machine technology, and you need money if you dont want to perish faster.
