You are claiming that your bank deposit consists of electronic impulses in a bank’s accounting software. You are thereby making no distinction between the logical existence and the physical representation of an object. Of course, a bank deposit is, in practice, represented in some physical way; be it carvings on a slate, ink on a piece of paper or electronic impulses in the accounting software of a bank. However, as we have noted earlier, we are not interested in the physical aspect of our world – which is the object of inquiry for physicists – but in the economic logic of our world. Bank deposits are, for practical reasons, represented physically. However, essentially, bank deposits are completely immaterial. Therefore, go back to the last question.
