    With cash being gradually phased out I bet the barter system makes a comeback.

    "Hey friendly neighbourhood backyard mechanic. I'll plow your driveway and yard if you service my truck for me."

    First time I read about that, I was thinking; "Is this for real?" A good read. I read about the Dutch Tulip bubble years before Bitcoin though. That crash was in 1637.
    Thanks for posting that Irish Times story 'buzzarddriver."

    Yes. We are turning into the “thunder dome” of Barter Town.

    I will say it is one thing that the US Dollar is no longer backed by a physical item, ie GOLD or SILVER, but it is at least backed by the US GDP and unless there is a massive collapse of the US business structure, i think it will remain strong.
    BitCoin is more like Monopoly money or Movie money. It has no intrinsic value because it is only based on a mathematical equation. More likely to fail rather than the US economy.
    And how do you buy a candy bar with BitCoin?

    They're planning a nationwide covid lockdown and not letting anything reopen until it meets some ridiculous environmental requirements. They're calling it "the great reset".

    There's no way this wasn't all planned using the Covid. The fact that it is being implemented using deception let's me know this won't be a nice and friendly system of government.

    I don’t know squat about this “bitcoin” stuff, but isn’t there only so much of it?
