I finally got around to finishing your post here. On the whole, it looks like a clearheaded and reasonable analysis. The definitions you use are reasonable, and I think you've tapped into a level of "what is money?" that most people haven't yet attained. I'd like to address the nature of what money is (as opposed to why it's valued) in a future video. Money, properly implemented, is the decentralized quantification of created value.
I would say you didn't do proper justice to the biblical quote, though. You pointed out that "money is the root of all evil" is a nonsensical perversion of the original message, but you didn't go into what exactly the original message was and whether it was correct or not, which I think is a rather interesting discussion.
Thanks for your feedback!
I wanted to avoid getting hung up on the original biblical quote; I agree it would make a great discussion, though. In this case, however, I felt that it was more helpful to the point being made to address the common misconception on the biblical quote.
