It's a pretty natural conclusion from many economics teachings that will highlight money only has value in the middle of a transaction and is virtually ethereal while sitting in any account.

That's like saying potential energy doesn't exist, only kinetic energy.

Money is like a loaded gun. It doesn't have to be fired. Just walking into a room waving one around will change the nature of most interactions.
