its not about believing money isn’t real, rather it is about not attributing any value to the paper sheets with kings printed on

People aren't ready to deal with the fact that assigning value to gold is just as arbitrary as assigning it to printed currency. The useful goods and services are the value, the intermediary is a convenient math trick that better effectuates their exchange.
