Food will be the currency

Prove me wrong

bullets will be currency

food is perishable, bullets arent

Yeah..... Currency can't really be perishable unless you want people only to use it immediately once a year...

Currency has the value it has, because we give it that value and recognize it.

We could use sand as currency, if we regulated it, and it was recognized by people.

bottlecaps made sense in fallout because it was the equivalent to a bottle of water or some shit

GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 4!

thats how I remember it

Water is abundant and can be boiled, so that makes it less of a problem or valuable

Boiling water only removes basic impurities, in a serious situation, it would be unusable.

Well water and food will be the main currency or reward for work until something properly organized takes from

Which will take a good while

Since it will require several communities to agree and be in contact and so on

I could see that, as the natural course of society, we went from a bartering and trading society, and Evolved into using currency.

Food and barter

Yeah

food is perishable 😑

Makes it more valuable

Because you all need your god damn food

Currency is handier, because it doesn't need to be a large physical object, it's easily made and regulated aswell

And not everyone can produce it

no it means its impossible to circulate

Vacuum sealing, canning, drying, smoking, salting?

There are plenty of ways to make it last long enough to get to the belly that needs it in exchange for whatever

Canning can last up to 20 years, so that makes a point.

Well.....

Actually, thats how we use to do it.

With our modern streamlined, convienence over quality format now, they will last 6 years when stored right.

Air-sealed dried foods can last 30 years.

And that's your best bet.

Jerked meat can last about 1 year.

So any kind of jerky.

And you can jerky any meat.

Currency will be based on what people want

There could be a vendor selling items and only accepts billets as currency. There could be a vendor selling clothes for food

If a serious situation happened currency would be what ever the seller wants

That's barter and trading as we said.

Yep

Thats the early form of a market.
