Use of pm to balance out trades of tangibles is reasonable. If it has zero value why would certain special forces carry 10 one Oz coins with them into war zones?
It may only buy you a bowl of rice and a phone call but what is your life worth a few coins of metal Or a few Shiney pebbles or a bit of drugs…… all have value to right person at right time. Reason those are good is many reconize there value and they are small and light yet carry great value. Problem zero change. Have traded 10L of water and 5 mre for some thing very precious. Right time right things and you can get crazy stuff for things that allow someone to live another day or save a loved one from death.
Been in hell holes where trading 1000 doses of amoxicillian so about $100 worth of fish meds got me 8000 carats of raw sapphires.
I reverse for getting a shaman to heal me from advanced stage dengue fever I gave the shaman 100 acres of land with a house…. stuff is just that stuff dont get too attached you can’t take it with you.
You don’t need to gouge people they will offer you this stuff freely because it is just stuff with life you can get more of it dead… better luck next time.
Imagine in a few months from now what a condom will be worth. I have night terrors over things I have witnessed others do to others and how crazy desparate people /mobs get don’t ever think it can’t happen here. This virus is just the start of this hell….. I pray I am wrong but I doubt it.
Trump will say whatever he thinks will keep people calm aND keep him in power. Just like rest of monkeys they don’t give a shirt about you. Only thing that will matter once the scope of this cataclysmic event is you and yours. Don’t expect help it’s on you and it’s show time no maybe about it.
Again I hope I am wrong but I have the same feeling as when this type of crap has upturned my life before. Please don’t fall for the lies be ready be hyper vigilant a big change is coming adapt or perish.
