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
@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
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
oh yeah i agree....for inter-community trades barter is best. BUT sometimes a perfect trade doesn't exist. let's say I do electrical work that costs $100. you sell potatoes for $1. What am I gonna do, take 100 potatoes for services? Goofy example but you get the point. This is when currency is useful.
no i get it perfectly...but what if you looked at it as this man farms potatoes he provides for my family to get through the winter..if he needs something fixed that takes a couple hours or days ...sounds like a fair trade...anything that is a bigger project should be socialized such as a barn or town hall etc.
>falling for the jewish superior IQ meme
@Ammianus Marcellinus we all know jews are only better at verbal IQ...not really the important one
Just an answer to peb ball's comment
@thatdudeiscool right - and a contract would solve that
