Money in this century is everything you don't have money then you don't get the respect and response you want
Power if not use in the right direction can lead to damnation should be used but shouldn't be abused
Money every day you with it you can enough power, a lot will think opposite though.

i believe on your fact. But some is every one that controls the money and the money make the to have respect. People have money but no body respect them in the society. Why some people we have money every body will pay loyalty to the person. We know that this current era money gives respect, but in certain countries no body is care of yourself money and it will be hard before someone can recognize you like someone that have money because most people have what gives them daily food and they lack nothing, in such organized country it will difficult to detect some body rich

Power is Power,
Money is also Power.

So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?

Me personally, money. I am not much into power cosplay and money would satisfy my needs. Power brings money and money brings power, but only money can function without power, it's solely up to the individual's views on what he want's to exert. Yeah, money does come with a certain power, whether you want to show it or not, but I don't think we are talking about those details here.

Why is Lord Varys also the Spider? He seem to be the ones bho deserted his camp to find a political position on the otherside. Seeing what the future will be is a good power than having money which he does have.

Having money at hand though will save your life. It gives you power to command and ask what you want to happen. And the needy who needs money obeys.

I think it would be of help if this thread clarifies what we mean when we say "power" since it's a pretty abstract concept. Anyway, any form of power would be preferable than no power at all but money is my preferred form because it is, as what would we say, "liquid". It's easily convertible to other forms of power. Say your power is, religious influence. It'll likely take more steps to convert that to money than the other way around.

Now to break the metaphor I used earlier, I also like money because it is "solid". It is tangible. You can quantify how much money you have, you cannot easily quantify how much say, influence power, you have.

"Power resides where men believe it resides." -Lord Varys, the Spider

Politics is power.
Science is power too.
Weapons are power.
Money is power.
Religion is power.

Politics (or rather, politicians), science, weapons, religion, money can buy all those. Money can buy a LOT of things, even silence for a time (make sure to buy it forever later, preferably with money too to not get your hands dirty).

What power do you mean here? because money is power, the body is also power, politics is also power, and weapons are power. The power you mean here is too general, but if you ask whether you choose political power or money power, I prefer political power, because in politics you can suppress people who have money with your political power.

Power or Money ?

There are many forms of power and money is one of them and it can be used to buy fame, loyalty and can win hearts when you do charity work with your money power . generally, money is a raw mat which is used to create products , buy goods and services but I think Expert Power is very important which is a personal kind of power that owes its genesis to the skills and expertise possessed by an individual, which is of higher quality and not easily available. In such a situation, the person can exercise the power of knowledge to influence people. Since, it is very person specific and skills can be enhanced with time; it has more credibility and respect.

I think money is a representation of power. If you pursue money, what you're really pursuing is power. Money doesn't give you anything other than power - it gives you the power to acquire things, and the power to control people. If it didn't do either of these things, it would be worthless. Money is also a (quantifiable) way in which people can demonstrate their power.

I see it more as a representation of time and resources, which when allocated give rise to power. It's like that one tribe where they accumulate cows and give them away for prestige.

I think I'd probably argue that in that tribe, they are using cows instead of money as a mechanism for quantifying and representing power.

I don't think we can say that money is a representation of resources, because you can have resources without having money - for example you could own a large quantity of poor-quality land, which only becomes valuable when someone wants to build on it, in which case you have the power of who can build there, and you can sell the land to exchange the power for money. The land itself was valuable only because someone wanted it.

Similarly, we can't say that money is a representation of time, because many people around the world work very long hours for very little money.

As they normally say,that the love of money is the root of all evil,money is so powerful to the extend that it can control an individual entire life and also have dominance on the society.It is so powerful to the extend that nomatter the amount you have,you are never satisfied,because human need are insatiable.The rich always wants to be rich,and because of that,it doesn't give chance to the poor,thereby making them remain poorer.

When one has money,he has power already,because he can do whatever he wants at any time,but the disadvantage is that money tend to corrupt the mind.It brings arrogance and pride even in the mind of the humble.

If I had to really choose I would go with Power because power leads to money. Sure its a harder road with Power but you get more respect than money. If I chose money most people would think I'm weak because I use money to sway rather than wield my raw Power of perception, strength, etc on the masses. BTC = Power

Question we need to ask ourselves how does one have power in this our modern society?
Of ourself it is money that gives power. Power is not just acquire like that , money is what bring power. The people who are government that are in power, money is the reason why they are their to get power.

I agree with you on this, with money you get almost everything and you can't be powerful without money,so I would choose money in place of power cause with money i have both power and fame, Money can solve almost everything on this earth.

after God is money because you can not be noticeable when you don't have money because when money is in your hand people don't know you will notice in all forms' any body who argued that money is not power don't know the benefits of money, every person talking one thing

Power is mother of all evils. Including money. The richest nations in the world are the most powerful ones. Power help to create and maintain systems and through such systems money is generated. We already know the power consumption of bitcoin and its value.. SO if i have to choose from the two, it surely will be the power.

Power or Money ?

There is financial power, military power, political power, spiritual power, and even money falls under financial power, In a society where everyone has money, your money cannot make you influential because everyone is equal having same financial power. The most influential in such a case becomes the person who possesses another kind of power say, political, military or even spiritual power. So power is more important to me.

I'm grabbing the coins, thank you LOL. But seriously, there are times where money is more useful. Take for example during the close of medieval period, the landed nobility technically have all the power, with their many privilege and rights as elites but they didn't have the money they needed to participate in the emerging new order. This led to the arrangements where they'd stoop to marry the daughters of merchants for the sizable dowry (the merchant family gains the prestige of marrying into nobles).

You can just imagine how much more important money is now in today's capitalist and globalist order. Simply put, you can have various forms of power but if you can't convert some of those into money, you'd have a hard time holding on to the power that you have. You'd be that lord sitting in his dilapidated castle (coz he don't have the money to renovate) looking at his untended land (coz he don't have money to pay labor) while thinking to himself "I am a lord, I am powerful".

Both would work and I find them interchangable but as my name suggests, I'm picking money. What is power? Money is more quantifiable.

I would go with money. The ultimate goal of power is also money. So if you have money, you already have what you would or could have achieved with power. So, what i want is alot of money, beautiful girls, health to play with them, love and alot of property.

"Power resides where men believe it resides." -Lord Varys, the Spider

Politics is power.
Science is power too.
Weapons are power.
Money is power.
Religion is power.

Think about all these.

Depending on the situation every single one of them can be lethal. See how we listen to the scientists (or so called "scientists") during the pandemic, before covid19 not as many people gave a shit about the doctors unless they the ones that became sick. Now healthy or not, people listen to the doctors especially when they speak about covid19.

Then the war started in Ukraine. People started to listen to the politicians.

Inflation is rising? It is time to listen to the bankers.

Getting old? Religious people come to your aid and show you "the way".

And this goes on and on...

I suppose when your referring to power in this case, yiu are talking about the status pwoer that exists in societies. Looking at it from that angle, you can over emphasise the power that someone's financial capacity can accord a man.

There was a saying that came off the oesophagus of local governor in a neighbouring state to mine once. This guy was at the hight of corrupt practices and wasn't shy to say it when he wanted something done. He said:

"What money cannot do, more money can"

The key word here is money and the power of getting things done. Its just a matter of price. Sometimes I wonder, if money solves problems or creates more problems. Unfortunately, it always comes down to the fact that, money solves the problems it creates. That's how strange a thing it is.
