See how nobody gets the barter, it just disappears? That's because the move is between the hoarder and the maelstrom. It's plain magic, every bit as magic as the hocus' and the brainers' weirdest moves.
In play, as MC, don't insist that the hoarder do anything at all, beyond what's required for the roll to help or interfere. "I'm helping by providing covering fire. I spend 1-barter to make it a +2."
There is a mistake in it, which is the name. It's supposed to be "money is power." The spoonful of sugar thing is a relic of production, just like how in the sex move it says "acquisition" instead of "acquisitive eye."
