And he did answer it lol
Quit playing games.
You're getting excited over nothing I think
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)*
I guess he really did have a rough time with the question. I rest my case.
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...
Or perhaps a few other options
Idk how you missed one of the obvious options: You will trade them water or food for the pubes in the future.
or a favor of some kind
Sure?
Yeah
that's how economies work.
Are you thinking of starting a new country and you're making sure you have some basics down first?
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.
you don't need to force anyone
or have layers of gold in your house
Well, yes
they will do it voluntarily
Until something haplens
*hapoens
*happens
until they find out pubes are a suboptimal currency
when you die, there's no way to reproduce authentic hairs
it's going to drastically deflate in value
and so people will stop using it
from a commodity money standpoint, if it's marketable, you can use it for indirect exchange
Or until I die or move to another town, or they are tired of me being in control of the currency
governments are notoriously hard to kill off
hence why people use them
authentic hairs might rise in value after he dies, now they are finite
@Sh0t don't talk to me till you can answer the basic question above.
really need a legal tender law to lock them in
i did
again
you didn't.
quote yourself.
make yourself look silly for the world.
Share your non-answer with them so they can laugh at you once again, go on.
If you are referring to using something for indirect exchange, if it's marketable, you can use it
What out Sh0t, They are waiting to laugh
