Decentralizing stuff is good!
Maybe we can do money next.
I kinda think the whole point of currency is a central method of exchanging value. If everyone used different currencies, it wouldn't be any better than bartering.
You're exactly right, in a free market of currencies people would naturally end up using the best money. This is what has happened historically and we had a gold standard. The current financial system forces us to use a specific currency and forbids competition.
How is the situation today different than it was back then? I know we don't base our money on gold any more, but it's not like there were much fewer currencies back in the day right? More like there was more since the Euro has eaten up many currencies. I'm not a currency expert, genuinely asking
Historically people used all kinds of money, like feathers, shells, stones, and ended up with silver and gold. The reason for this is that silver and gold are the hardest to produce. Every time somebody can inflate the money supply they can extract value from everybody who uses that money. Europeans did this in many colonies for example, e.g. by manufacturing glass beads that were used as local currency.
The dollar was backed by gold in the past (Bretton Woods), but Nixon did a rugpull and refused to give other countries gold for their dollars. Since then the US keeps printing more and more dollars, now adding a trillion every three months while the first trillion took like a century.
So, the difference between then and now is that the dollar used to be strong, and now it is weak. It's still strong enough to be the world reserve currency, but there are cracks in the system and they grow.
Hmm interesting. I'm not sure a gold-backed currency and a currency as it is today is so different, but I'm not really qualified to talk about this so I'll just leave it at that.
I mean I'm down for local money
Not really convertible, but good for radishes and such
It'll have to be everything simultaneously. The world's a mess.
