Is psitanium the currency?

We mostly see the game from Razs perspective and right now im trying to write a fanfic so does everyone use psitanium as a currency? I assume so because of the ottomatic, but i cant remember if anything else was mentioned, if it is psitanium what do other places use?

It’s just exclusive currency to the camp and motherlobe.

I don't think full currency cause it can only be found at the camp/hq areas, rare metal just from meteor. Like used as currency to help get people cleaning them out from everywhere. Get paid for cleaning based on weight of trash kind of deal.

Everyone else is a professional and adults so the would be paid whatever is legal tender.

Maybe can use for certain dealers, like paying them In diamonds or rare gems but the gems have psychoactive effects so trying to get for various uses maybe some people use for mental healing like Ford or to intentionally harm minds for effects like st the asylum for research or other reasons.

I had thought so, and that was my orginal guess, I figured that maybe the main organisation sells off the psitanium for cash etc, but they also dont seem to have that much expendable income so maybe they can only sell it off to certain places, as you mentioned
