Why is this so strange? It's just humans assigning value to something. Someone once came up with the idea that "my shiny rock=two of your bananas". That was completely made up. Somebody probably came along and said, "That poor fool just said he would give me that shiny bit of rock for my two bananas? What a moron? He just made that up....besides I can't eat the rocks..." Of course, that person didn't grasp the tool of "money", which had just been invented. It proved to be popular and useful. We have moved beyond assigning various shiny rocks a relative value to other goods and moved on to assigning virtual chits in an electronic storage medium the same essential role, the plus side being I don't have to carry a huge pack of shiny rocks with me when I travel on airplanes.
Money was always relative and the values and exchanges could always be manipulated. But go on and act like you've just been privy to some "long dark secret". Please, continue with your conspiracy theories and what not. It keeps me amused.
