1. a) Generally speaking, modern Homo sapiens sapiens are not privy to the totality of "human history."
1. b,c) The nature of its "menifest[ation]" is irrelevant to its necessity.

Full Definition of MONEY
1  :  something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, or a means of payment: as
     a :  officially coined or stamped metal currency
     b :  money of account
     c :  paper money
2. Money is a means to the eternization of possession. (See my forum signature for further details.)

Quote from: Leo Tolstoy, Ch. 5, translated by David Patterson, 1983. - Confession (1882) link=http://izquotes.com/quote/273248
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
3‒4. It does not aspire to purpose; therefor, it achieves sanity.

1. a) History (and the past in general) is the product of the present, because artefacts of history only exist in the "now" and so are our memories of the past. When you wake up every day, you don't know if yesterday really happened or you just remember it. However, as time has fractal structure (as any self-similar system should be), history usually repeats itself in a growing spiral until it doesn't. That's where it bifurcates and starts a new branched cycle.
1. b,c) Existence exists, non-existence doesn't. That's a necessity. Therefore, if idea of Bitcoin exists, it must be necessary, as there is no other place it could possibly be.

2. Eternization of possession is only possible if money is a singular static thing, which your definition doesn't state. However, as a branch of self-similar Universe, Money is actually a dynamic essence. It literally is alive. Change is the only constant (except for the first three laws). Note, how not only does the 4th law contain paradoxical statement (change == constant), but it also happens to be the only rule with exceptions (of the first three laws), which in itself is paradoxical as it contains its opposite (rule != exception).

3-4. To not have any goal (or purpose) is a goal in itself. If you enjoy staying away from joy, that is your joy then! Smiley Whatever path you choose to explore, you do it because you prefer it over any other. Yes, you exist because you love it. Can't change that. Cheesy
