@TQ I suppose it can be valued, but can it be traded?

@Averly Hm. In my mind, I often calculate how much trouble something would mean for me and how long I had to work for it... So, in a sense...

@TQ True, but I still can't give you time. I mean, I can make time for you, but it doesn't become yours. Like, you don't get more time because I spent mine.

Am I taking crazy pills?? 😎

@Averly Nah, I understand. Money is kind of a transfer currency, to take into account that not every kind of work seems to deserve the same value. Imho money can be seen as a means to veil that not every human being / their contribution is valued in the same way.

@Averly In a way, if you give me enough money, I can re-transfer it into time. I can go to fancy places, I can leave work early, I can stop working for good...

@Averly Money may even be used to prolong life, to cure diseases, to make old age more bearable.

Oh, this conversation is making me sad...

@TQ Oh noes! Let's think about the new Averly Space-Time Reserve Notes, and what they'll look like 😉

@Averly *lol* good one!

@TQ I'm thinking it'll need a unicorn somewhere. But on what material?

@Averly Pressed glitter, of course! And when someone tries to trade it, it just explodes into sparkly dust!

@TQ OMG YAS GLITTER SPARKLES!! ✨

@MightyBigCar I took it upon myself to get a head start...

I bestow upon you - 100 Averly Time Pieces 😉
