I thought you regarded ALL money as such? 
No, only that which is imposed upon people by others. When you and your friends devise a currency, you know it has value because you all agreed to it.

Nope, its a fortune of real, actual money. Hereās a list of the highest paid YouTube celebrities, and I donāt know if that includes appearance fees and endorsements, of which there are many:
On a sidenote, a recent Southpark episode discusses these YouTube celebrities and how much kids love them, how self made they are, and how little adults understand them:
Its downright hilarious in their usual insightful way, but of course your assessment may vary.
I worked at an event full of these YouTube celebs, and it really is amazing how popular they are. Theyāre exactly as popular as the sitcom stars of the 80s were in their day. And I have a feeling theyāre just as well paid. And you have to admire how self made they are. Most of them are just pointing phones at themselves and uploading their videos and building a following on social media. And its interesting how much more their fans get to interact with them, and how direct that interaction is, compared to their old media couterparts.
Hereās a video of my favorite YouTube star that I saw at that event, Trevor Moran. His whole schtick was dancing in Apple stores, but I gather he does more than just that now. Most people outside his demographic will probably tell him to get off their lawns, but he strikes me as downright hilarious and obviously super talented:
I can listen to Gottfried a heck of a lot longer than I can listen to Dresher, but close enough I suppose. 
And speaking of listening to annoying things for lengths of time, I ran across this while trying to remember how to spell Gottfriedās nameā¦ shudder

Apparently not - it says US dollars, which is what I meant by āmonopoly moneyā.

Her voice doesnāt bother me, other than that I feel like sheās yelling at me unnecessarily. Wonder if her neighbors can hear? Well, anyway, if thatās her shtick, who am I to tell her sheās doinā it wrong? I like her energy, and sheās pretty funny.
Ok Iāll bite. The US dollar is freely exchangeable for every other form of currency on the planet, including Bitcoin, so is all currency āmonopoly moneyā in your assessment?
Sheās like a female Gilbert Gottfried.

Wasnāt that more like, fast? Instead of loud?

So when does the āfunnyā start?
Please slow down. Not all of us have ADD. And for the love of Christ; STOP YELLING. Iāve noticed more and more that human communication is devolving into nothing but shouting and hyperbole. Which to me pretty much is a flag for the absolute lack of content.

Oh, but I do. Hereās a sample of my video work. Note the relaxing, unhurried pace and utter lack of yelling.

That is more my style. I figure, if I clicked on your video you already won my attention, so you donāt have to work so hard at it. And, I guess Iām old fashioned, but I canāt stand people YELLING at me. Iām not sure which is more annoying, yelling or thousands jump cutsā¦
I didnāt mean āyouā specifically, though, more a general āeveryone who wants to throw up a video on the internet and expect me to watch itā direction was meant.
Hey, it worked for Denis Learyā¦
New kind of torture - death by a thousand jump cuts?
Something I noticed the other day when trawling IMDB after watching Where Eagles Dare for the umpteenth timeā¦

This film contains roughly 1472 edits during 151 minutes of action, this equates to an average shot length of about 6 seconds.
Thatās higher rate than of quite some antiaircraft artillery! Who wrote that script, an ADHD squirrel?
