But this is the point - exchange of energy between humans, whether
money, voluntary labour, crypto money, barter of food or other goods,
these things ALWAYS depend on other humans - that is (how ever
unfortunate this might be) the nature of involvement with other
humans and with interacting with other humans.

So when it comes to exchange of energy of any form between humans,
you will always be involved with other humans, to a greater or lesser
degree :)

Sorry to state the obvious, I mean no disrespect.
