^no doubt

2019-12-29 18:09:43 UTC  

I don't care about "anybody"

2019-12-29 18:09:45 UTC  

I care about you.

2019-12-29 18:09:48 UTC  

answer it.

2019-12-29 18:10:02 UTC  

I did answer it

2019-12-29 18:10:03 UTC  

Bro obviously

2019-12-29 18:10:05 UTC  

And if you answer wrongly I will pummel into your head why you must agree to it

2019-12-29 18:10:09 UTC  

You did not, whatsoever.

2019-12-29 18:10:09 UTC  

And he did answer it lol

2019-12-29 18:10:12 UTC  

Quit playing games.

2019-12-29 18:10:29 UTC  

You're getting excited over nothing I think

2019-12-29 18:11:40 UTC  

Literally any physical object can in principle be used as a currency. Ie. a trade medium between people.

Do you agree or disagree with that statement? This is not hard. Not a trick question. Very basic. *(Fun fact: Communists all disagree with the statement)*

2019-12-29 18:13:18 UTC  

I guess he really did have a rough time with the question. I rest my case.

2019-12-29 18:13:22 UTC  

I could use my pubic hairs as currency. But if I want people in my post apocalyptic neighborhood to use my pubes, I need to either have a vault with valuables to back those pubes up for people...or I could threaten to murder any who doesn't accept my pubes as currency...

2019-12-29 18:13:39 UTC  

Or perhaps a few other options

2019-12-29 18:14:02 UTC  

Idk how you missed one of the obvious options: You will trade them water or food for the pubes in the future.

2019-12-29 18:14:12 UTC  

or a favor of some kind

2019-12-29 18:14:12 UTC  

Sure?

2019-12-29 18:14:15 UTC  

Yeah

2019-12-29 18:14:20 UTC  

that's how economies work.

2019-12-29 18:14:41 UTC  

Are you thinking of starting a new country and you're making sure you have some basics down first?

2019-12-29 18:14:43 UTC  

if everyone in the town recognize your pubes, and for some silly religious reason decide to use it, then that's the trade medium of that town.

2019-12-29 18:14:50 UTC  

you don't need to force anyone

2019-12-29 18:14:55 UTC  

or have layers of gold in your house

2019-12-29 18:14:56 UTC  

Well, yes

2019-12-29 18:15:02 UTC  

they will do it voluntarily

2019-12-29 18:15:03 UTC  

Until something haplens

2019-12-29 18:15:12 UTC  

*hapoens

2019-12-29 18:15:13 UTC  

i smell Austrian lol

2019-12-29 18:15:14 UTC  

*happens

2019-12-29 18:15:19 UTC  

until they find out pubes are a suboptimal currency

2019-12-29 18:15:52 UTC  

when you die, there's no way to reproduce authentic hairs

2019-12-29 18:16:00 UTC  

it's going to drastically deflate in value

2019-12-29 18:16:04 UTC  

and so people will stop using it

2019-12-29 18:16:07 UTC  

from a commodity money standpoint, if it's marketable, you can use it for indirect exchange

2019-12-29 18:16:11 UTC  

Or until I die or move to another town, or they are tired of me being in control of the currency

2019-12-29 18:16:21 UTC  

governments are notoriously hard to kill off

2019-12-29 18:16:25 UTC  

hence why people use them

2019-12-29 18:16:34 UTC  

authentic hairs might rise in value after he dies, now they are finite

2019-12-29 18:16:58 UTC  

@Sh0t don't talk to me till you can answer the basic question above.

2019-12-29 18:16:59 UTC  

really need a legal tender law to lock them in
