> money would be worthless if everyone stopped caring about it. Sure, on the surface this is easy to understand. But what might it look like for such a process to unfold? How do the fundamental dynamics and primary characteristics of a money system change over time, and why? Honestly, I can't really answer those questions in any kind of sophisticated way. A lot of discussions involving the Fed and broad macroeconomic policies feel fairly hand-wavy to me. Sure, the basics of runaway inflation caused by reckless money printing is not too hard to understand. But that's just one of many scenarios.
