I think that it's a correct position now, but probably temporary in some sense. We didn't start with a cash system, and we may not end up with one, but for this moment in time it's a useful way to measure value/wealth.

Ideally one would think "it's all about happiness" would be the goal, not a measure of asset worth, but rather contentedness perhaps? It doesn't take much thinking to imagine why we can't function in that way, however.

I feel sorry for you then. First, you can't understand what I meant, and, second, the basic life lesson is that money can't make you happy and feel accomplished (unless you're too primitive), but the lack of it, agreed, can definitely make you unhappy, so, it's not about hoarding as much dollar signs as possible, but it's about having enough not get unhappy and I think most of us here don't have the issue that most people around the globe have nowadays - I'm sure we're in the top 5% globally in terms of income. The whole vicious circle of greed never has a happy ending. In most cases, the inability to be happy is a mental problem, which separates the miserable mass from the blissful few. Don't get me wrong, I have this condition as well, but I've acknowledged my issues and I'm working to address them. All the wisdom of the ages can be compressed in just two words: "memento mori" or in the more accessible form for the masses: "carpe diem". Anyway, outside of the basic well-being, real happiness is helping our civilization advance a step ahead. An Instagram can make you more money than SpaceX, for example, but launching which will make you happier and more accomplished? Which one will put your name in the history books and leave no doubt that your life was meaningful.

People can decide to do an attack on Bitcoin for reasons other than money: fun, fame, politics, cyberterrorism, etc. Although money is everything today, it won't be tomorrow if we really want to be something meaningful happening in this civilization. The current order does not foster higher values that have no economical value.
