What is money exactly? It is the intermediate between goods and services and just means that "I have this much" and nothing more. We do not even use paper banknotes that much, it is mostly cards that we deal with and the money moves around digitally everywhere.
I work for my boss, he sends some digits to my account and I go out and pay my bills and do stuff and use those digits to keep doing those things. If I have enough digits in my account then maybe I can retire, or I can start my own business and earn more digits. Isn't that it? Isn't this just a big game?
Where you work and you climb the leaderboard ladder and you earn game points once a month but then you spend it all month if you do not earn it in the middle so some people want to earn everyday instead of just once a month. It just makes no sense at all if you ask me and that is why I believe it is not really sensible to expect it to never change, crypto will change it for sure.

Most of us already know the struggle of not having enough money so we can't blame people for accumulating more money just for the sake of wealth. Pressure regarding this matter will always exist especially in this world where competition always exists. Some of us are accumulating money just to survive.
Every human being always works directly or indirectly for money income, you come to recognize money as the most important thing in life. But money is not everything. If your s If you are not in good health, you will not be able to concentrate on your work even if you have money. You need more than luck to succeed in affiliate business.
Luck is the biggest factor that makes a person successful or not, i have a lot of friends in school and when i have a reunion i am surprised because friends who used to be stupid are more successful than smart, this is life and we can only do our best but the results of course often don't match what we expect.
The presence of social media brings a big influence, many rich people are showing their wealth and this has an impact for many people to follow it. everyone always thinks to improve life for the better, for those who are rich then there will never be enough words, they will continue to think to increase their wealth so that money and wealth are inseparable things.
Money is the most basic needs of every people in todays world, without money we can't afford to bring food on our table in daily basis or even pay the rent, electricity and other needs for everyday living. We can even say without money, we can't survive in this harsh world we're living.
In order to be financially wealthy you need to have money first and have the mindset to invest, make some passive income or even make business on it so that later in life you won't work and be financially free, I also think that that's the goal of every human being.

Money is one of the most important things in our lives to maintain our life. If we had no money, we wouldn't be able to buy anything. Money is very crucial for people in terms of this. Maybe having a lot of money is not a must for all people but nobody would like to turn down a big amount of money either. In the end, the more money people have, the more they can buy.
they believe they can reach that dream of becoming wealthy if they arent yet but i think thats not the same as your believing in god or whatever your religion is .
money or wealth is not a religion and i dont think that most people want to get wealthy but i believe that majority of the people are already contented with thier lives and for them money is less important than other things .
it is true that there are people who have had enough of their lives and think money is not everything, for example, like certain religious leaders who only think about spiritual things without thinking about anything else.money or wealth is not a religion and i dont think that most people want to get wealthy but i believe that majority of the people are already contented with thier lives and for them money is less important than other things .
but apart from that, there are still many who still prioritize money compared to other things, even when we see now a lot of bloodshed and wars are going on, the end of which is to get excess wealth both from finances on the other side and resources that can be sold. .
and until whenever something like this will not be able to be changed because it is human nature that incidentally is greedy and always feels that it is not enough with what they currently have.
Money and wealth cannot be classed as a religion since there is nothing that transcends in them - in fact these are two very earthly elements of life. At most, these can become an obsession. Just like math, money is a tool and the problem is when it simply becomes the end or the purpose (it is ok to think of math as a purpose thought 
)
Wealth is no doubt the value that remains on societies that have little else to offer, which are many nowadays.
What is religion? What do you consider as religion? Is it the belief that one god exists? Or multiple gods? Just simply something that is a higher power that exists? If that is what you understand from religion then it is obvious that money is not a religion at all, because in finance there is no gods.)Wealth is no doubt the value that remains on societies that have little else to offer, which are many nowadays.
However, if it is waking up early in the morning for it (morning prayer in some major religions and some minor) or taking a break to do something specifically for it? Or starving for a while to gain more later on (fasting now, going heaving later?) or just celebrate it? If you just look at the actions people do when they are religious then you may find similarities in the wealth world as well. Very rich people do stuff similar in logic for getting more money that religious people do as well. Which is why I believe that we may find some resemblances in both of them.

I want to find coherence in the things you just mentioned, but it's not satisfying at all.
But I see these things, that is the purpose everything is created for and is seen as a purpose to pursue.
Looking at the story of religion, too, in essence, all religions direct people to be better in life. But also according to each person's perspective is different, so it creates different identities.
And money is not much different in purpose.

Ever since the dawn of the civilization, the most powerful man are the ones who have the most money and that idea has been carried out through history whether we ant to admit it or not, sure a lot of people would lie and say that money can't buy happiness but when facing your problems do you rather face them as a poor man or as a rich man, money in it all forms whether its crypto or fiat if you hold it, you hold the key and the answer to every issue.
I disagree. Money-based economy became important only very recently. In the pre-historic times, it was power that was valued much more than money. Because there were limited options where money could be used. Nowadays the families have become more nuclear and communal structure has disappeared. Now everyone is on his own, and under these circumstances it is money which reigns supreme. In a few locations, they still follow the collective community structure, such as the Kibbutz groupings of Israel.
Well in our history money is also power most of the kings and also the leaders before should be a rich one but also there are some that are just strong and bacame powerful. Though you have a point that mostly we could really say that now adays money is power to us and only few people or tribes or small civilization doing this but world is getting evolving and people are adopting the technology age so they will be also influence by this

Back in the day there were Crusades by Christians to middle east for religious reasons, it wasn't purely religious of course and more like a power trip but at least there were religious reasons given to public. Nowadays western nations destroy middle east for money, there are other reasons given like "nukes there!!!" which turns out to be wrong but at least they are known to do it for money reasons.
I seriously do not see any difference between the two, if there were zero money to be made from middle east then no western nation would ever attack middle east, they really do not care what's going on there unless they could make a buck out of it. Hell even if it is not directly profitable, they would at least do it so that the money they are spending on military wouldn't be a waste but could be used in a war so that they can justify it, so in the end even that is about money.

Money and wealth are important for all of us actually. Of course, I don't say that I can't live without being a wealthy person. But I wouldn't say no to earn a really big amount of money either. Because we come to this life for only once and we should enjoy ourselves as much as possible. We should make an effort for not having a meaningless life. And money is one of the most important things to achieve this.
it's true, everything has its consequences because when we become rich it doesn't mean everything will be fine.to support life and buy or own something will certainly feel easy but there will definitely be deep thoughts and worries whether it's from distrust of others or worries about losing the wealth you have.
and likewise the poor will surely have the same worries in the economy such as how to sustain life tomorrow etc.
and maybe feeling grateful for life and feeling enough about something will be a good answer, even though we are not in abundant wealth but at least we are still above the economy enough to support ourselves and the families around us

Working yourself to the bone and then have a two week respite called vacation isn't the ideal life to live in, we were taught the moment we were born that money is what makes the world go round but it's not the case, we are living in a capitalist society that sees human lives as nothing but workers or cogs in the machine, we are better than just pencil pushers, everyone's destined to be great, it's just that the controller of this world got too powerful that we are slaving away for money. Personally I wouldn't take money and wealth as my religions.
I think money and wealth is just a way to support you to reach the goal and dream of your life.
Some people like to hold power and some people like to travel to as many places as they can in their life, and they need money to do that.
If they can do that without money, then I don't think they will be much interested in accumulating wealth.
No matter how much wealth you accumulated, you can't bring them into your grave anyways.
I think the argument of the OP is that people spend so much time thinking about money and doing everything to get it that it has become their actual religion even if they do not think about this way, and while I think he has a point because I have known a few people that were completely obsessed about money to the point that they did not thought about anything else, at the same time I think he is exaggerating as many people have no other option but to think about money that much because it is that hard to earn a living right now. I think money and wealth is just a way to support you to reach the goal and dream of your life.

I stand to be corrected or cencitize
it is demanded for necessities and luxuries, in fact everyone in this world wants to be rich from the income and profits they make.Wealth has become a certainty that everyone dreams of, but how good it is to get wealth well, I am proud to be rich with the results of my hard work and I am ashamed that the wealth I have is obtained from bad results, robbing, stealing etc.
So, there is no correction about everyone's wealth depending on the religion they follow, it is better and very wise that wealth is as I said above, clean.
