And what's the point of making money if everyone hates you?
Survival. If everyone loves you you might be able to live without money. But if everyone hates you then you need to give full payment for everything that you want from them. So then you really need money.
If everyone really hates you they won't deal with you at all. And if they really really hate you they'll burn you in your house.
Money is a great way to transact with strangers. Enemies and friends, it gets complicated.
Um ... decrease the money supply? =-)
