Ok, what people aren't seeing is that while The Masses might see money as an end in and of itself, it isn't. It's just a means to an end. Money is just a token, not just for tradeable goods, and services, but also power. The power to command those goods and services, and the power to get people to do what you want. I guess they need a new way to tokenize power, now that money is in everyone's hands (whereas that wasn't true just a few hundred years ago.)
