You are still talking/thinking about money like it is "something". Money is nothing but an abstract accounting system that tells you how much of the planet's aggregate resources you are allowed to have. Ultimately, people assign value to the specific barterable items based on their desirability at a specific moment in time (i.e. the price, which can and does fluctuate), and the accounting chits are appropriately marked. That can be by passing a paper note, updating a ledger, or flipping bits in a computer.

There is never, ever, EVER intrinsic value to money. It is always and everywhere ONLY an accounting system. A ledger. Just like Bitcoin.

Don't confuse money with barterability. They are not the same things.
