Fiat currency is socially constructed and would cease to exist if we stopped believing in it. It’s just that the value of gold works exactly the same way.
Isn’t fiat currency functionally based on taxation and the value represented by the tax?
We have communal effort, we tax the community to pay for that effort to pay the workers, and the value created by that labor is thus the value of the currency.
The work makes debt, we tax to pay down that debt. The currency represents the movement of the value between parties.
So long as movement is sustained we have value that backs the currency.
