 | Never mind alternate currencies…December 9th, 2008 |

You’ve pointed out the game relevance numerous times regarding mudflation: if the currency is worthless, something else becomes the currency. If it happens to physically be a subset of the current currency, so be it.
Yeah I´m always trying to scam Argentines into taking my bills and giving me coins.
Now that I read it, it´s not all that bad. Typical Yanqui drama queen.
What´s really interesting is mutual-credit currencies like WIR and Berkshares, might just change your whole worldview, make that line you maintain between virtuality and reality seem a bit more absurd.
