assuming there is a future I think there will still be something analogous to currency that facilitates trade, though our currency essentially is a scalar and it's possible future currency will be a matrix or a vector (e.g. add some extra values to represent externalities or something). maybe essentials of energy/space/matter would be extremely cheap though, although it's possible with massive computational speedup in thought there could also be an increase in consumption of some combination of those as wells by whatever agents inhabit the society. idk really hard to say but I'm betting on a dyson swarm of some kind lol (hard to imagine what that much energy could be used for other than like super powerful simulations though). Can also imagine literal mind viruses or some scary shit like that.
