Gold Standard?
Paper Money?

Those are both ancient concepts.
Now, real money is just numbers on a computer screen. I turn on my computer, go to a website and it claims I have "x" number of dollars. I want to buy something and some cyber dollars go from one computer page to another, and a few days later a package arrives on my doorstep.

Every month more cyber dollars go from my page to a bank's page, and that allows me to stay in my house.
