Division of labour is good, and having a common medium of exchange brings more opportunities to trade. There are no downsides to money.

Even though I support money (when done right) I still think that there are a hell of a lot of downsides to money. Earning and hoarding money promotes greed and it has been proven by scientific studies that richer people are less moral, meaning that they care less about other people in general. Personally I think that one of the strongest attributes of Bitcoin is that while it's a better type of money in itself, there is actually a fairly strong gift economy spirit in the community. People give away a lot of coins as donations and tips, which is just great. That enhances a sense of community and caring for other people.
