The "money" used to buy bread is a very practical medium to exchange resources. These figures with too many digits are not real: that "money" is a result of sums of products of virtual values based on credit and speculation. The fact that the same symbol ($) is used for these two very different things sounds like a systemic bug.
You say that but they can and do use that virtual value to buy bread.
True, but if Elon gave you $1 million in Tesla stock you could still easily sell it, be taxed on it, and use the remainder to buy a lot of bread.
