It would be interesting if we are indeed judged in the afterlife by our net worth at the time of death, perhaps with our dollars being converted into a heavenly currency for continued commerce.

Seems a bit more likely than sitting around playing harps and petting lambs for an eternity.

From a Christian perspective, the Parable of the Talents (or Minas from Luke's gospel) describes future reward based not on net worth but on one's faithfulness with the resources entrusted to one. No harp-playing or lamb-petting necessary.

"heavenly currency for continued commerce"

Crypto?

No but you live on through your influence and your children, which can be modulated with money.

you won't be alive to see it sadly. it would be as if it never existed in the first place.

Maybe just because it’s hard.
