In such a case, will the concept of money be wiped out from existence ?

    Not necessarily. Lots of people already release their “fun” things they make for free. If you had all your needs taken care of, you could release anything you made for free a lot more easily.

    That being said, there will always be limits even if you don’t have to work, there are only so many major sports teams that can be owned by a single person. There can only be so many stays per night at fancy hotels in a particular city.

      Even with biological needs satisfied human society creates social\cultural ‘needs’ that people will fight\work just as hard to acquire or maintain. ‘Keeping up with the Jones’ can create demand for literally anything. Unless we each get a genie that grants our every wish, we’ll find something to compete over and markets will develop around those.

        Universal Basic Income should buy away the poor and make sure everyone is comfortable. Bartering with earned money is still allowed.
