I hated money a lot in my twenties. It took awhile for me to realize it wasn't the money I hated; I hated what I was doing to get the money.
I like to see people earn the life they want. Participation awards are a terrible idea. If earning money isn't challenging, it loses its appeal and eventually becomes worthless. If gravel roads were made of gold nuggets, gold is just a rock.
If you abolish money... resources... like fish or as you point out Gold will be the next currency... Just changes.. there will always be classes and those who know how to do things and those who don't.
