Transacting for goods and services. Cash has value because you get arrested if you don’t have enough to pay taxes.

I totally agree. Cash has value because it’s backed by violence.
Oh no the state has a monopoly on violence what a bad thing. I much prefer the natural way where your right to property ends at the tip of my spear.
Everything privately held that has value is backed by the threat of violence.
