This is a deceptively-simple question with many complex answers, which must be asked by everyone at some point while they fall down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. TheGuySwann (npub1h8nโฆrpev), Daniel Prince (npub1hghโฆfyz2), and Max Hillebrand (npub1klkโฆx3vt) explore this question, and offer their answers for those taking the orange pill.

In Austrian economics, money is viewed as a commodity that has evolved naturally in the market to facilitate exchange. Austrian economists, including figures like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, emphasize the decentralized and spontaneous nature of the emergence of money. In layman's terms, money is an agreed-upon medium of exchange used between two parties to execute a mutually beneficial transaction.
Over time, a commodity with specific desirable characteristics, such as durability, divisibility, portability, and recognizability, comes to be widely accepted in transactions. Without the emergence of a medium of exchange, humans would have been confined to using a barter system and would have not evolved to form complex societies and civilizations. The problem with a barter system is that it doesn't solve the economic phenomenon of โThe Coincidence of Wantsโ, whereby one party does not value or desire another party's goods or services. โMoneyโ solves this problem when both parties agree on a medium of exchange to use to transact peacefully and prosperously with each other.
Furthermore, Austrian economists argue against the notion of a central authority (like a government or central bank) having a monopoly on the issuance and control of money. They contend that a competitive and decentralized market for money is more likely to produce a stable and efficient monetary system and a more productive and peaceful society.
