Daou was also incredibly thin-skinned and very easy to troll on twitter, which is probably the biggest reason he got all that attention. He's endlessly dedicated to the fine art of the self-own.

Feeling a little inadequate?

Phanatic posted:

Yeah. Exactly my point. There's nothing about the government being a guarantor that prevents a currency from being speculated infinitely up and down. I mean, countries have chosen in the past to literally hyperinflate their currencies in order to pay off debt. Big-name economists like Krugman have advocated that the US should engage in massive inflationary policy in order to pay down its debts. At the time of its issuance, this was worth about $30 USD and is also a funny picture:



Bitcoin's dumb as hell but a number of the reasons why people think it's dumb are also dumb.

Dumb? Drew would like to have a word with you.

Its not that uncommon for kids to dress up like that for a school project learning about the war. So when these companies scrape the search terms for costumes it will probably come up.

When we had our bicentennial in Australia, our entire school had a convict dress up day. It didn’t seem strange for children to be dressing as convicted criminals dumped on a foreign continent. :shrug:

Sweden, the year 1650

You: Thank you for your business, that will be 9 daler please.
Me: *snaps fingers, servant comes in with a 10 daler copper coin on a cart*



You: Here's your change.




The coins were solid copper plates with the metal value equal to the face value.The 10 daler coin weighed about 19kg (41 lbs) and had a value roughly equal to 30 000 SEK, or 3 500 USD today

Thats pretty interesting, never saw that before. The Laconians (Spartans) in the archaic and classical period used heavy iron skewers as their currency. It had little inherent value, it's believed that part of the reasoning was to make transfers of wealth (and underhanded things like bribes) difficult and cumbersome. When the Greeks adopted coinage, the standard coin or obol takes its name from these skewers.

In the South Pacific, the people of Yap used giant stones for currency that make the daler look downright convenient. The largest known weighs 4 tons. Because they are so difficult to move, trading them is largely based on agreeing that ownership has transferred and leaving it where it is.

That's what evacuees looked like in WW2 though? It's a totally normal thing in the UK (see how the price is in pounds not dollars) where hundreds of thousands of children were sent to live in the country during the worst of the bombing during the war. For some reason ignorant Americans see this and think "oh it's an Anne Frank costume!" even though she's never pictured wearing clothing like that.

I heard about the Yap stones, and one was being transferred to another island by a boat that sank. It's still being traded on the bottom of the sea, because at least people know where it is.

Right, which goes to my other point - that a good currency is easy to carry around and exchange. One of the reasons people these days don't tend to use heavy copper sheets, spears, or giant stones.

ee: although, I guess in a sense if you have advanced banking and good accounting maybe the giant stones would still work? I mean, I very rarely use cash these days, but instead exchange money by pressing a piece of plastic to a lump of metal and glass until it beeps, which means my number goes down and someone else's number goes up, but no physical copper, spears or giant stones has changed hands.
