If I was preparing for the end of the end times (US election tomorrow BTW
), I might convert my cash to gold or silver (and not in certificates either, that's a whole other racket), although, under those circumstances, I doubt there would be much demand for either. Having copious amounts of weed to trade with on the other hand... I'd be interested to hear how many folks on this forum have ever made a purchase with raw gold or silver
Without electricity, being able to use Western union, Paypal, post office deliveries from Mr Nice seedbank, using the auction option over the internet, etc... would all be a joke as well. One may have cash in the bank, but trying to do anything with it would also be a joke
The US dollar happens to be the world reserve currency, before that it was the British Pound Sterling. I wouldn't be surprised if we had another become the new world currency sometime soon, currencies will come and go. There are countries working on conversion to crypto as we speak. I don't think it wise to dismiss the possibility of the world converting to crypto. Nobody wants to use physical money where I come from, and everyone is buying online more than ever. Amazon don't accept gold or silver
Regardless, I started this thread to introduce the possibility of another way to transfer currency for seeds. Folks do it all the time, it can be done within minutes from across the globe, and converted to your favorite dollar within minutes and into your account. I have nothing to gain promoting this, except for the convenience of a quick/clean transaction once or twice a year with Mr Nice. I'm just sharing my positive experience with y'all
