One thing is to work to make a living and another is to dedicate your life to that signal on a hard disk. Greedy does not equal rich. I have seen greedy people going to jail because of greed.

I've also seen some rich people who are not greedy. Credit Cards are a convenience because people have figured out how to make money by lending money. It isn't anything new its just a different form of lending. Wherever your country might be we can get currency to spend while visiting there.

I personally don't see the video game connection. After all those bits as you called them are merely a way for a bank to keep track of real value. Its not the money itself.
