It's not schenanigans, scrib, it's the whole point of money.

2018-10-01 00:25:16 UTC  

and it is immensely useful.

2018-10-01 00:25:18 UTC  

Money was meant to replace swapping random shit.

2018-10-01 00:25:20 UTC  

It is the reason we have all this shit.

2018-10-01 00:25:35 UTC  

fake money, is shit, I agree.

2018-10-01 00:25:41 UTC  

"I have a bunch of walnuts. Want this plate?"

2018-10-01 00:25:42 UTC  

its forecast to keep going up

2018-10-01 00:25:42 UTC  

fiat has issues

2018-10-01 00:25:46 UTC  

Sadly some of those gender studies people are employed. They work for those diversity consultant firms that are all the rage.

2018-10-01 00:25:57 UTC  

the fed has many rate hikes in to try and slow it

2018-10-01 00:26:00 UTC  

but fiat issues can be solved through policy, if there is political will to follow through with the policy.

2018-10-01 00:26:07 UTC  

ya, seems they are poking their heads back in gaming now....

2018-10-01 00:26:09 UTC  

"I don't like walnuts."
"Ah that's a shame. I wish there were a common thing we both agreed to want."

2018-10-01 00:26:30 UTC  

well, there was no agreement to want gold

2018-10-01 00:26:34 UTC  

You can't stop money from existing, people will barter with laundry detergent

2018-10-01 00:26:41 UTC  

Cigarettes

2018-10-01 00:26:47 UTC  

Everyone agreed that someone wanted gold, and that gold was finite.

2018-10-01 00:26:48 UTC  

people buying a $300k property now... it'll be worth a mill in probably 10-15 years

2018-10-01 00:26:58 UTC  

no, nobody agreed with "everyone"

2018-10-01 00:27:10 UTC  

because wages will also be much higher

2018-10-01 00:27:14 UTC  

Everyone agrees that that are people who value gold quite a lot.

2018-10-01 00:27:15 UTC  

it's just the aggregate result of lots of people agreeing individually to trade something for gold

2018-10-01 00:27:28 UTC  

no, lots of people agree that they value gold a certain amount.

2018-10-01 00:27:35 UTC  

9_9 Ugh.

2018-10-01 00:27:37 UTC  

it is a crucial distinction

2018-10-01 00:27:39 UTC  

Talking past each other here.

2018-10-01 00:27:47 UTC  

There's no consensus regarding what gold is worth, the price fluxuates

2018-10-01 00:27:47 UTC  

I just realized something!

2018-10-01 00:27:50 UTC  

there are a lot of people who do not value gold right now

2018-10-01 00:28:00 UTC  

like people who are drowning

2018-10-01 00:28:04 UTC  

Maybe gold is famous for fluxuating in price LESS than other metlas but it still fluxuates

2018-10-01 00:28:12 UTC  

I wonder how many people are drowning right now.

2018-10-01 00:28:14 UTC  

drowning people tend to crash economies?

2018-10-01 00:28:27 UTC  

@Risotto Relative to what?

2018-10-01 00:28:36 UTC  

Well if enough people drown it can crash an economy

2018-10-01 00:28:41 UTC  

In theory

2018-10-01 00:28:42 UTC  

2591

2018-10-01 00:28:48 UTC  

ppl r drowning when u asked

2018-10-01 00:28:53 UTC  

so there we go

2018-10-01 00:29:00 UTC  

sure as hell ain't everyone agreeing on anything

2018-10-01 00:29:18 UTC  

gold prices is set by usage rate and the cost of mining it
