Hmm.  Not sure I want to lug 6000 bushels of wheat to the dealership when I want to buy a car.

I think barter system was much more easier with the poor. Like imagine if some rich guy needed to buy a private jet but he's a potato farmer. So he'll have to give tons and tons of potatoes in exchange. So then they can't exactly store these potatoes forever because it'll get bad so then they'll have to sell it in lower price. So less price for food for everyone!

I would reinvent money as food so that when I run out of money to buy food I can just eat money.

This is pretty much the answer in the sense that money has progressed from coins and notes.  It's been reinvented as far as I understand, from gold, to notes and coins, to electronic information, there's currency like bitcoin.

The story of money is the story of valuations moving from the concrete to the abstract.

That jet won't get built in an economy so simple as to be based on barter.

Regardless of what the future might bring, I really don't see our species socializing going away, in that of bartering something.
