The interesting thing about money is the way in which it traces a rough social consensus around a given state of affairs in the real. There are times when the money reality even gains primacy over the real, temporarily at least, but which then contracts and withdraws, tail between its legs, in pursuit of the real.
When you see the money take flight, it is almost always a delayed effect, in which the consensus around a given state of affairs collapses.
I use consensus very loosely here, and it is a consensus that is certainly meticulously constructed and forced.
There is of course a split between those who use the money as a sort of canary in the coal mine, to trace out various realities, and then those that already know that the coal mine is poisoned, and the canary is soon to be doomed.
