Money is fake. It doesn't exist. Your labor has value. You can use your labor to make other people's lives easier. They can use their labor to make your life easier. Like building stuff? Cool. I'll make your wardrobe if you build my house. No banks or real estate agents necessary.
A reasonably stable currency is incredibly useful as an abstraction for value. Do you farm potatoes? Do you need a difficult medical procedure? I guarantee you, the surgeon, support staff, and the hospital are not much interested in being paid in a sufficient amount of potatoes.
