No it's not. It's only fiat money that's imaginary.

No. Indeed, I don't even have the "money" that's in my wallet in the 
terms of green pieces of paper.

That I can actually have as much of my net worth I want in the form of 
anonymous untraceable bits of paper I can use to buy stuff with?

Say you're the wife of an abusive police officer. Wouldn't it be nice to 
be able to hire a cab and buy a bus ticket without your abusive 
homicidal husband being able to ask the bank where it is you're hiding?

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
