ok so in the community why will dollars be the currency what use will they have unless you set a central bank to set currency levels

there is the possiblity of going off-the-grid

what i'm getting at - 100% off the grid will take a very long time. in the meantime cash will make up the difference.

yes

no bank - bitcoin my man

yeha because your money is safe in btc

In some permaculture communities I've seen they are still "on the grid" in the sense that they occasionally restock at town and need a small income, but mostly they produce their own goods and barter with eachother

Barter is pretty top tier for a community like this imo

^^

agree

@StaysafeTV - 191 lb Muscle Man yeah a currency can only be detrimental as it always is

crypto can be used for barter and SHTF emergencies

shtf like when the pwoer goes out and the internet goes down

gold/silver are also an option

@Orchid then anyone can crash your economy with bringing in a lot of gold...only goods and services with immediate and concrete calue would work

nothing one person can hoard

and satellites cant get shot down either..or once btc crashes they determine the satellite is best used for other services

what i'm getting at - these discussions have to happen. all of these things should be planned out BEFORE mass movement

I'm 100% onboard with creating a community, but right now we are nowhere near

ok use potatoes or local caloric food as currency

i'd be willing to do projects for neighbors

the socratic method is essential for projects like this

I already do stuff like that for a few families at my home

barter should be encouraged of course

@dt im playing along arent i

@thatdudeiscool yes buddy

regardless of getting something

@dt these discussions are had by a lot of people already, it makes more sense to worry about it after settling into a house with people from the community

@Roman Dreams no cucks please...no moral high roads either

truth is we will need SOME manufactured goods. case in point - guns. no matter how self sufficient, it will be for the greater good to take a small percent from "the outside"

>hey Dave can you pick my tomatos while i'm at work today
>sure thing

>cuck

if your services are free wouldnt that make mine free if i were to have to compete with you

either way - there are two things needed on a personal level before moving.
1. cash
2. wife

what are yall doing to achieve both

can i add

3. not worrying about others wives and money

I can tell you one thing you shouldn't be doing @dt - larping

bro...i'm just bored on saturday trying to have some conversation

@dt ok so on an a semi related note...youre a smart dude...are all whites ...will it be easier to tell your future neighbors how to use bitcoin or that if they farm and create a lot of food their needs will be met in other areas by the people in town

if someone really creates a surplus of a necessary resource for all the town and maybe even export wouldnt you want to help them out anyway you could....it seems alot easier and still allows for specialization and barter without too many extra steps
