Our socializing over time lead us to form groups. In that our first "currency" was food and territory. I find gold and diamonds and even "bitcoin" all bullshit scams which all amount to justification to control resources.
But regardless, no matter what "transactional" model humans come up with, we will always be a social species. I'd argue the biggest scam humans intentionally and unintentionally inflict on each other is religion. "The promise of an impossible utopia".
Currency is not artificial. What a stupid thing to say. Currency is a means by which the barter system keeps you from having to exchange a wheelbarrow full of turnips for a load of bread.
