Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” that is the root of all evil.

In my opinion money is only a tool to make life easier. Before people were using money to buy and sell things all trading was done with goods directly or by using precious metals in between. I don't see today's world functioning without money, there are thousands of different goods which would need to be traded somehow. People are not graving for the money itself but rather the goods they can buy with that money and the freedom it gives. Would a country without money really? I don't think so, who would make sure that everybody gets what he needs and not takes things from others? As long as there is evil in the world it will be hard to live without laws and rules that protect private property and income.

Money is neutral. Those who can use the money well will not make money a tool for doing bad things. Anda for that, money is not the root of all evil. But if a person is controlled by money because he wants to get money from anywhere. Money has become the root of all evil.

Money is a tool. If you don't have money, you will cry because you can't survive. If you don't have money, you can't buy the necessities of life, but if you have money, don't waste it buying unnecessary things. Use money properly so that money is not the root of all evil.

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society

It seems to be a transmission from the bible. I think that's not entirely true either. There are evils that have nothing to do with money such as committing crimes because of competing for beauty, because of wrong love, due to personal hatred, due to the impact of the social environment, leading to deviations in personality and morality... there are many problems related to evil, why do this? It is a common aspect and money is only one of the main reasons, not quite the root of evil things.

We cannot arbitrarily conclude that money is a source of crime, we must look at other factors why people commit crimes that are far from the norms of life. I prefer to say that money is "one" of the causes of crime. Yes, indeed, not all crimes are committed by perpetrators with money motives.
Indeed, I do not deny that now, in this day and age people are blind and do things to get a piece of money. Yes, that's because their economy is difficult, and even people who have enough still commit crimes because they want money.

Everything you say comes from human behavior, so it can be said that human greed and envy are the root of evil, not money. Money is just a product created by humans, it is inanimate and only serves human purposes, some people use it for good purposes, but there are also people who use it for evil purposes. Therefore, it can be asserted that evil is man-made and not caused by something else.

But also have to admit, money is man-made, but the magic power of money is really too great, it can make people change just because of money.

becomes human nature that has desires and ambitions, at first money is a medium of exchange, but at times like this everything needs money, so that humans think that happiness is synonymous with money, because they can buy everything they want, humans will never have enough even though their desire has been achieved, of course they want something higher, and so on until they get greedier. for those who find it difficult to get money, especially to eat is difficult, so many of them use shortcuts, namely crime

I live in a developing country with a low per capita income of around $7500 per year, the biggest problem today is corruption and the sale of assets to foreign countries so that it makes my country's economy very difficult, the regulations that are made are always in the interests of entrepreneurs even though they harm the people a lot, this is because many state officials who accept bribes from businessmen to protect their business interests.

Here in my South American country, the root of evil in my opinion is the selfishness, lack of humanity and patriot duty those in power suffer from.
Money is one of the things that move the world, but it is not necessarily something which is evil from its conception, we can do good things with money, after all.

It is like saying fire is evil because it is responsible of burning down a house, while on the other hand, it help us to power our society.
I guess an example using the atomic energy would have been more suitable, though.

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society

It is the love for money that a person will do anything evil just to have it. Money is just a tool to spend and purchasing. Money doesn't have any thought or intention. It is the owner and the reciver that has the malice to use money for evil. In short, money can be used in evil and good things.

Money can be used to help people in need, is that evil?
Money can give you power to buy foods you need, is that evil?
Money can make your love one happy, is that evil?

As I stated, money being evil depends on the person who uses it and to the person's method of acquiring it. It is not money that is evil but the love for money

Code:

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:10 (King James Bible)

The root of evil is people, money is just a tool. Like an iron bar, you can build with it or hit someone, but that is about you, not about the iron bar. I think that evil (sociopaths) are innevitable, we just have to build a society that generates as little as possible of them and make sure they are early detected an treated to avoid damaging others.

This is the same as bitcoin which is considered a scam because there are lots of scams in it but in the end they are still just tools that cannot be fully blamed.
Situations like this return to our true thinking because as you said we cannot avoid things like this because the intentions in everyone's mind are clearly different, there are those who do the job in the right way and there are also those who make it appear that crimes like this are normal for as long as they can make money.

Often, we scapegoat money. in fact, it is we who create money as a medium of exchange rate. not infrequently, money is always the cause of all incidents of crime that occur on this earth. once again I say, money is always blamed because humans always define that money is the root of evil. money is symbolized as strength, glory, even money is blamed for controlling humans.

sometimes it's a little funny. Humans tend to find fault with everything that happens on this earth, including blaming money. in fact, it is man who is the root of all evil on this earth. not infrequently, money is only used as an intermediary for the root causes of all existing crimes. before money was created, evil existed on this earth.

I won't say money itself is the root of all evil but the love of money. The love that people have towards money is what actually drive them to do some unthinkable things, some things that you would abraptly refuse when it's brought to you but today you see so many individuals donig it without even having to think of the repercussions. At that point all they could think of is money.

And one thing again; if all the money is removed from this world will that make the world be free from evil? Or will evil still persist? And if the latter is the case why would it continue when the roots has been cut off?

I think the desire for the people to do crimes only to earn much money have been increasing overtime especially on poorer countries. Gold came first than money so yes it was the first to be the root of all evil but even up until now, people are still greedy about it because the rates of it are much higher than fiats. We shouldn't be jealous about those rich people.

They can spend their money all what they want because they also work hard to earn it. It's not their fault on why we are poor but it can be the fault of our ancestors, yet we shouldn't heavily blame them. We still can do something in order to improve our lives but it must be done in a legal way.

I do not think that it is true for "every" nation. Even though there are plenty of nations with corruption, we could say that there are some nations who have managed to successfully put law above all the powerful people. Meaning, even if the president of that nation, usually called the most powerful person, could still get punished if they do not follow the law and with a few examples in the past, they managed to beat the corruption.

This is why I believe that they did not caused any trouble further along and they just managed to keep money not being an issue. Because if you can't be corrupt, then why would you rule a nation badly? You might as well do a good job and actually help people because you can't just profit yourself.

Money is the root of all evil at this century? Give me all those money, I have the super power that quench those evils away Grin

On a serious note, that clause is an adage that describe the level people go to look for money and the peer pressure from the society has made it worse. I will use my environment as an example, an average boy that is supposed to be concentrating his head on college and how to graduate with a first class or second class upper division is worried that his clan are already making it, bought cars and houses but he hasn't made any and meanwhile he doesn't know what they do for a living and before you know, he has indulge into cyber crime, this is how money becomes the root of evil.

Money makes people to do evil because they want to earn it legally or illegally, people who don't have access to money may decide to kidnapp, rob a bank, steal from people, these are the various ways people do bad things to get money which are all evil things to consider.

Underestimate- nothing

Money plays a very important role in our lives, so no matter how we label it, it is something we can not do without so the better we accept everything the way it is. If money were the source of all evil, then you wouldn't need it, but as it is important, some people are greedy and people can do anything because money can kill and kidnap especially in my country, other crimes when it comes to money.

It's the humans that are naturally evil. Pretty sure that even in stone age, people were still fighting over resources just to survive. Money is like just a medium of people to do evil, but it is not necessary to call it the "root of evil". That's like a boomer sayings back in the days and it is a stale saying now these days.

I guess because on how people are desperate into getting power through money, that saying becomes like the norm.

I would say that money is not the root of all evil, but there are some issues with how it is managed. In my nation politicians end up taking too much taxes, and not really do anything for us, and we have no idea where that money went to, and absolutely not getting even half of it back.

If it was on blockchain, we would be able to see where our money went to, but there are not enough transparency which means that we pay taxes and can't even learn where it went to. That's not really good and it really causes a lot of trouble. Sometimes they publish it for fake, but it just says "went to scholarship" and turns out it was millions of dollars worth scholarship to just one person. That's why we can never learn truly where it went to. If that stopped, money would be plenty for everyone in the nation.

Money was the root of all evil since the beginning. Doesn’t matter what country you are from. Before paper money it was probably gold which was considered the root of all evil.

Look how many crime is committed due to money. Look how much hardship people have with little money. You guys billionaires blowing money left and right and you got kids starving in many parts of the world.

This ↑. But, I think the desire for the people to do crimes only to earn much money have been increasing overtime especially on poorer countries. Gold came first than money so yes it was the first to be the root of all evil but even up until now, people are still greedy about it because the rates of it are much higher than fiats.

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society

If according to my conclusion that money does not cause evil, what causes evil is from the way of thinking that actually uses money and the heart of the user of money itself. Because money can be someone can give orders, want to be ordered to commit a crime can and can be ordered to do the right thing too. So what is wrong is not money or money is not the source of crime. The money wasn't wrong. What's wrong is the person using it.

Greed is the root of all evil and not money. When men want to satisfy their uncontrollable desire for luxury and other material things, they become evil. Money didn't teach people how to steal, kill, defraud or become corrupt, people intentionally chose to act negatively to get money. The case of corruption in the government of Ukraine is a clear example of what people have become because of the quest to get rich quick. How will a sane person be benefiting from blood money without remorse? Ukrainians are suffering and dying, while some corrupt government officials are stealing from their predicament. Even in the face of war, some are going on luxurious vacations with stolen funds. It is not money that is caused these evil but selfish humans.

Of course money is not evil, money is just a good thing which people put blames on that it is the root of evil. A clear mind that lacks greed and that is contented and see the money available as enough will never do anything evil to acquire money. I think money is never the problem but greed, the selfish interests that wants to acquire riches by all means. So I think the blame should go to greed by saying greed is the root of evil. Money is just a paper that does not have any say but the heart of men to do evil to get money.

I think it's not money that is the root of crime but cunning brains as the root of evil because here the use of money is only as a means of payment not as a tool of crime

Money as a form of payment is not evil, just like a knife isn't evil, it's just a tool. In the hands of a chef it helps to make tasty food and in the hands of an assassin it's a tool used to murder people.
Money can be used to pay for murder, but it can also be used to pay for your child's hospital treatment.

That said, bitcoin is a better form of money, as it's yours. I've said it a number of times already that by using fiat money you agree to all current and future laws that the owners of the money establish. I say owners, because you're only a user, you're not the owner. The USA is the owner of the dollar and its central bank is the issuer. You're only a user that can be at any moment cut off from the system and denied the right to use this payment method.
