You trade what you earned through your talent and labor, for a trinket that took no skill or labor to create.
They claim it is valuable, what they really want is what you earned, because that is what is valuable.
Once you trade that, you lose your value and must work even harder to replace it.
Skilled labor has value. Nothing else does.
The engineer will always be far more valuable than the banker, but the banker promises the engineer wealth without work.
If enough engineers fall into the trap, nothing gets made.
The banker moves on, the productive society gets destroyed.
