I would like to hear your definition of money.

To me, money is whatever that which is of value. It really doesn't matter. It could be baseball cards. Whatever is in demand.

I don't think money we will ever evolve beyond money until we evolve beyond desire, which I don't see happening (since I don't see evolution on any unique path). Money will always be the medium of exchange, whatever that medium may be--information or conversation even.

I think money will always be apart of our lives. As we evolve--assuming that it's for the best--it will become less and less able to be corrupt.
