point is that except for this premium money is a fin asset like any other. a bank deposit for eg has an interest rate and an associated cash-flow that can easily be valued. it finances a portfolio of assets on the banks balance sheet that can also be valued. so not purely memetic
earlier you said "the underlying logic of money markets is mimetic". I took this to be a specific claim about money markets, not about ultimate human ends

-
Yes, and you haven't provided anything that says money markets aren't mimetic in behavior.
-
Mimetic behavior doesn't mean that there is no represented underlying value or that bubbles don't pop. It's basically a tautology. Another way to phrase that money is the medium of exchange.
-
the question is whether money is "purely mimetic", not whether mimetic desire is a motivational factor in relevant markets (I agree that it is)
