Bartering is a way of life when you live out in the country. My neighbor lives on the barter system. He owns an excavator and has some livestock that he trades for all kinds of stuff like work on his property, items he wants or needs and cash.
Last year I got six cords worth of trees just for taking them down so they didn’t fall and kill any cows on a neighbors property.

Government loves to control its people so they can’t be free and independent. States like Washington would love all electronic currency so they could track and tax everything. They could also control what purchases you make. Can you imagine them saying you can’t use your electronic currency to buy guns or ammo.

haha, i have to laugh. the .govt will never be able to completely restrict bartering... fuck them

They would have a hard time stopping it, but they could make the penalty so high, nobody would want to do it. I like to think if it ever came down to that, we as a nation would tell them to pound sand up their nether regions.

Was always taught money was just a piece of paper and not to stress about it. I've come to realize money is pretty much everything...time, power, freedom....

There is a balance.

What is money? Who creates it?

"Once there is no cash and you have only cashless digital currencies, then whoever controls them, controls everything. And not only that. They can wipe your bank account! If you are a decedent of the system, as this moves on into more extremes, they can wipe your bank account! And it's just gone because all it is is just figures on a screen. You can wipe figures on a screen in a second!
You can, from a central point, crash the entire economy by controlling digital money and digital processes! And the idea, eventually, problem-reaction-solution, create the problem and offer the solution, is to have a gigantic crash which they will instigate, and then to overcome the crash, they will propose a totally new economic system of central control to be the solution of the problem they created, which is crashing the economy.
And the more control they have over the money, digitally, electrically, the easier is to do that!
This cashless society is one key element in a whole transformation of human society to total control that involves almost all areas of our lives."

Guns, ammo, tobacco, alcohol, gold, silver, fuel, food, sex (and a few others I may haven't thought of) will always have value and thus be part of a bartering system

might not be a bad idea to think about how you can produce or stock up on those items

Every time I’ve tried stocking up on sex, the girlfriends find out about one another.

Money only means something if you VALUE it highly.

Its only a tool.
