Money itself isn't the bug. It's the ability to abuse money to disconnect yourself from the real economy. How easy it is to abuse money depends on how it is designed. When people save money perishable goods like food are sitting on the shelves waiting to be bought, then money will outstay its welcome. The food is gone but the money is still there.

“Only money that goes out of date like a newspaper, rots like potatoes, rusts like iron, evaporates like ether, is capable of standing the test as an instrument for the exchange of potatoes, newspapers, iron and ether. For such money is not preferred to goods either by the purchaser or the seller. We then part with our goods for money only because we need the money as a means of exchange, not because we expect an advantage from possession of the money. So we must make money worse as a commodity if we wish to make it better as a medium of exchange." — Silvio Gesell, “The Natural Economic Order”
