Unpopular popular opinion: the money we use nowadays is made up of IOUs (I owe you). The money is created by central banks. Central banks don’t get money from anything; instead, they create money. The money then goes to investors, government and corporatios, and that’s why the rich become richer, and I, as a poor person, become poorer.
Reject currency, embrace bartering
We already use a barter system. We exchange our goods and services for other goods and services. Money is just a medium for when a direct exchange isn’t practical or possible.
Reject bartering, embrace gift economy
Gift me 1 million dollars
I’ll embrace bartering if you give me 400 carrots and 2000 potatoes.
I have around ~100kg of potatoes in the basement… im not sure how many single units that is
Carrots will probably be harder, our garden doesn’t grow that many :3
Ok I’ll take the potatoes for now and accept and IOU for the carr…wait a minute
