Elon Musk: "People get confused sometimes they think an economy is money , But money is a database
for the exchange of goods and services and for time-shifting the exchange of goods and services. Money is a database. Money does not have power in and of itself
You can run the thought experiment: if you are shipwrecked on a remote island and you have a trillion dollars in a Swiss bank account, "it's worthless"
You’d rather have a can of soup. You can have all the Bitcoin in the world and you’re still going to starve
The actual economy is goods and services”
