Monks should just focus on their religion. Real wealth such as gold and real estate is not created out of thin air. Gold is the most reliable currency ever and it has maintained it’s value since the beginning of civilization. There will always be a demand for real estate. Oil is temporary but the largest oil exporters and importers have the most gold and have the largest amount of real estate. All fiat currencies are fake. Only in a fiat system is wealth created out of thin air.
