 # The concept of money is a lie. It was placed between Slavery and Freedom to give you the illusion you are free.

 How do you achieve freedom while staying alive and benefiting from what society has to offer without money?

 The barter system. You trade what you make/ skills for other peoples skills / what they make. Pure V4V right? No money middle man allowing you to splurge on unnecessary on needless stuff giving you the illusion you are free!

Freedom to me means food, water, shelter, bitcoin and people leave me the hell alone.

"What Society has to offer without money" just goes to show how big of an illusion money really is. You don't need a 70" TV to be free or survive. You don't need a trip to Disneyland to survive.
It's merely "what Society has to offer"

It's a trap.

The rat race.
