Yes. You are right about this. Coin that says "in God we trust". When electronic money disappears we will value 1 cent=$1. Coin will buy 100 times what it does currently. Poor can buy because as you have noted it is readily available.
I agree about Bitcoin. I think regular "In God We Trust" coins are the best in a collapse. Our money is devalued right now. How about 1 cent becoming equivalent to what one dollar buys now? Most people have "worthless change" lying around. It is already "legal", too. We the people can decide value. I like 1 cent equivalent to $1.
I personally am looking to local currency for exchange. Our farmers market issues plastic tokens which are useful at all stalls. Once purchased the tokens retain their dollar value even if used the following year. Dancing rabbit is a community that has an alternative local currency but I don't know any more about it. I anticipate the possibility of needing non-digital currency. I don't see why US coin doesn't fit the bill. If digital dollars go away people will still have coins lying around. Their value might be different however. For example a penny might pay for what a dollar buys now. I think this returns us to the value of the dollar about 100 years ago.
I so agree with you. I'm shooting for about 1850, though. Prior to the Carrington Effect, the first Civil War and pesticides. Use coins for currency but value them at 100x current. Sorry about the computers (for those that like them). Maybe redevelop without spy features.
I am a Christian and my faith remains despite learning all these crazy things about reality. I have had a strange personal miracle related to a message God gave me. My parents anniversary is 10/17. Some years ago I had a life altering mental collapse and was hospitalized on 10/17. The course of my life changed at that point,because it changed my graduation year. Exactly 25 years to the day after that I left the hospital following a similar but "worse" mental collapse. There have been a number of other instances of that date or that clock time showing up in my life. Until I got on this board I did not connect 10/17 with letters. When I saw Q=17 I thought it might mean something. I didn't know how 10 (J) connected, however. Now I have a possible thought about it. People in this board talk about the Jewish Question. I think they are slightly off. I think it is the Jesus question, as in whether or not you choose to believe in him. You see when I thought I had failed him so badly as to be lost the number 10/17 filled me with dread, but once my faith awoke this number is a reminder of his power to change my direction in life. My daughter has a more modern Bible version that contains an interpretation of Jesus words that essentially indicates he is not of this world order. Jesus told us he is not NWO!
Intentional communities of various sorts fit the bill. In northern Missouri there are several which interact with each other to an extent. I don't favor high tech currency. I'm aware of some alternatives being used, but after a collapse I'd like to use US coins. Our dollars are so devalued that I'm guessing a dollar buys what a cent did in 1900. Another anon pointed out that everyone has change lying around and I agree. If electronic money went away and all we used was coin or low denomination paper but it purchased 100x what it does now, I think that would work.
Upside down cross in the image of the pope!
Not entirely sure what to make of this post but it rings true. Plus the time 10:17 and date of the original post 09/08 both mean a lot to me. I hope I can learn a lot more about this
Some cicadas have 21 year cycles. A number of years ago the two groups emerged the same year and we had cicadas everywhere. The years they come out together happen 21 times 17 years.
I think the value of the dollar needs to be restored. Simply use cash. If electronic money disappeared the supply of money would go down and I think the dollar could be revalued to about its 1900 value. Don't know about a return to the gold standard but that is apparently constitutional. Poor people with pennies in couches could buy things again if a penny bought what a dollar does now.
