"Value" isn't a real thing either. Gold is just a metal, gems are just rocks, there's no real way some arbitrary amount of them are equivalent to some amount of food or other completely different material.It's all just convenience born out of the fact that bartering is a pain in the ass.

Paper money has as much value as you give it.Gold has as much value as you give it.I'd rather carry around a few paper bills and a credit card than four bars of gold bullion.
The why can't I write a million dollars on a piece of paper and say it's a million dollars? Who has the right, or should I say, why do certain people have the right to name and insist on a set value on money? Why is their paper, which isn't even paper anymore by the way, more legitimate than me finely writing out a million dollars on a piece of paper?
