Many people mix these up—they equate an economy with money itself. But that's the confusion. An economy is way more complex than just the currency flowing through it. Money is just one tool, one mechanism. Understanding this distinction matters, especially when you're thinking about how markets actually work and where real value sits.

On-chain data shows that this misconception is more common than I imagined... From a code logic perspective, the economic system is indeed much more complex than just price fluctuations; money is just an execution layer parameter.

Wow, finally someone is talking about this. So many people in the crypto world are still confusing economics with trading cryptocurrencies. I'm truly speechless.

Haha, finally someone clarified it. 90% of people in the crypto world are really just trading coins, not the economy.

ngl most people are indeed confused by this set. Money is money, the economy is the economy, and many people get it mixed up.

Uh... I've wanted to say this for a long time. Too many people are just focused on the ups and downs of the coin price and completely don't understand the true essence of the economy.
