Not as much as cold hard cash.
- wiredfool 7y agoI think Toilet Paper is the preferred currency now.
- LargeWu 7y agoI know your comment is, at least somewhat, in jest, but it's kind of true. My wife's boss has been spending a good bit of his workdays lately tracking and buying gold. But not buying physical gold. Just buying a promise from some agent that he owns some gold. Of course, that's not going to do him any good in a crisis; you can't eat gold, you can't drink it, pretty sure you can't wipe your ass with it. You can only trade it. And when resources become scarce, utility becomes far more important than value. And gold certificates, or whatever, will become even less desirable.
- wiredfool 7y agoYeah, that was only half a joke. At some point, the only things that are worth anything are things that have utility. Money isn't intrinsically useful, it's only useful in what others will trade for it. The Postman, while it was resoundingly mocked as a movie, was a really chilling book that dealt with what happens when you get to that point.

- AstralStorm 7y agoOr have a working shower.
- mythrwy 7y agoThat is the real answer. Toilet seat bidets are available for like $25 from amazon.
