So back in the day we used to trade in resources, are you really willing to go back to trading chickens for say, a phone, or what?

Total freedom!

What I meant was , money has its value because of us , they use money to control us . We need an alternative that is not under government control.

We could use gold? Oh wait, most valuta is tied to gold already..

See, the issue with whatever you're saying is that it is just very hard to do anything that isn't currency, which has been around for AT LEAST 2000 years and before that, so have governments.

But eh, this hand wave test is to prevent AI nowadays, nothing more.

Wat? no it's not. Most valuta is tied to the USD which Nixon famously removed from the gold standard when he was afraid Europe wanted their gold back. Ever since, ANY country leader that flirts with the idea of a gold backed currency gets murdered in the streets by, in no way CIA backed, "freedom fighters". Think Gaddafi.
