That's what separates us from other animals. Apes can make stick tools, but only humans have this concept called "currency", that which has value but no real, tangible use.
It is incredible. We stand out in our stupidity. Splendid.
Call me 想φαγω.
Spoiler:
I mean
There's a whole slew of things separating us from other animals
I'd say currency is a whole lot less relevant than, say, writing
The biggest, most fundamental differential is the ability to abstract. Anything that comes from it, be it currency, writing, language, art, ideas, philosophy, and whatever else, is a direct result.

Im reminded of when waver said econemy is pretty much close enough to be a magecraft in case files i think?
and i just see 'money printer go brrrrr' and like...
There is the saying, its not money, but the love of it that is the root of all evil.
Our problem is that we took a system that is simple, the exchange of goods and services based on currency, and went crazy with it. Instead of gods, we have corporations, celebrities, and executives venerated because we bloat them with capital, so they become another ruling class. Because the acquisition of currency gave them power, and power/influence is the ultimate goal.
But the currency itself isn't at fault, its that we skewed so hard the amount certain people get and who gets approved for loans, not even getting into money in the political game, and a menagerie of other things that build upon itself that artificially make rulers. But even people with the more chaotic bent of "no gods, no masters" don't seem to get that abdication of the current society wouldn't erase that human mindset of creating such systems or veneration of the "strong", it would rise again from the ashes in another form or different currency.
But if you would take the time to destroy it, that energy could be used to realize the flaw you had in the system and fix it.

Fundamentally the idea of no gods misses the point we will always create something else as i said, billionares
Maybe thats why i dislike most pro humanity scenarios outside of the exclusionary of non-humans part
I really want an absurdly powerful viracocha (andean creator deity who created the sun and moon and stars) or Mictēcacihuātl/Santa muerte (Mexican/Aztec death goddess) to show up in lostbelt 7 to be honest. Primarily because we don’t have much representation for the americas and because this singularity is taking place in South America.

I dont expect anything decent after mecha gods
Though maybe nasu will put a lot of effort in out of contrarianism
Elder Scrolls tells us that mecha gods are at their best when they bent time. Not time travel, mind you, but make it so that a game with 7 different endings results in sequels that all endings are canon within the same universe. In other words, rather than parallel universes, all those parallel universes somehow mish-mash together into one using the power of said mecha god.
I don't think that's the right word. It takes more effort to create the mechgods from scratch and sew them to the myth than to just make Olympians with no original twist. What was missing wasn't effort, it was tastefulness.
And with the Aztecs being Jojo meme space microbes, we shouldn't expect tastefulness from that pantheon either.
Tastefulness went out the window years ago.
Tastefulness went out the window the moment they turned King Arthur into a waifu for the main character to have sex with.
About 80% of the Lostbelt seems to be Brazil but god knows if we'll see a Brazilian in there
It will hopefully be a more general South American lostbelt.
I wouldn't worry about TM being too geographically accurate.
Hopefully my fucking ass, give me the brasilian lostbelt now.
Call me 想φαγω.
Spoiler:
I suggest people abandon all hope immediately. It's going to be bizarre alternate history divine-spirit Servants populating an Aztec empire that's somehow in Brazil.
*Looks at Avalon le fay Lostbelt*
I dunno man. "Be careful what you wish for" and all that.
