Money is a system of cooperation that humans would "invent" again in a vacuum.

1. Mankind was created with a nature of inventive problem solving, ever since we were cast out of the garden to fend for ourselves.

2. Beyond raising base goods, Mankind immediately ran into the problem of cooperating in the scalable transmutation of those goods into a rich economy that lifted everyone up.

3. Crossing the chasm between barter to a society of money by applying our inventive problem solving to the base goods that we were bartering with, eventually and iteratively arriving at an economy based on a system of gold money.

4. As society grew and our engineering/problem solving improved, computer science emerged, economies became networked, and #Bitcoin was eventually "invented".

We would discover/invent #Bitcoin again in a vacuum, the same way we would discover/invent a system of Gold.

This is why I have a hard time crediting Man, as opposed to God, with the "invention" of money.

Did Man invent sailing, and if he did, what % of sailing is actually the discovery of the innate properties of Creation. Was God surprised that we "invented" a way to interact with His oceans, His winds? No.

God invented Creation, man "invented" sailing. But I think it's appropriate to say that Man discovered systems of utilizing Creation exactly as God ordained that we would.

Everything of wonder and awe, systems and disciveries and inventions that amaze us, were discovered.

Jesus Christ was a Jew and he knew about money money money.
