money doesn’t technically need to exist at all.

There is no better way to facilitate trade than to break down 'value' into granular units that can be traded directly--that's essentially what money is, a unit of measurement for value.

Barter sucks the moment you need something from someone who has nothing you need that's of at least similar value.
