[extropy-chat] Bloodless Redistribution of Wealth (wasSingulartarians)

[gts]

By the way aren't moving rapidly toward a cashless society anyway? I find  
less and less need for cash. Even fast-food drive-throughs take debit  
cards these days.

Samantha, excuse me you did make a point: legally you can probably force a  
merchant to sell you something for $20 that he sells to other people for  
$20, even if he hates Microsoft and your $20 Bill-bill. Maybe that is what  
you were trying to say.

But the problem remains that these bills would be traded like baseball  
cards. Their value would fluctuate all over the map.

So why not just call them baseball cards? Leave the currency alone and  
create a new commodities market. Your local merchant might even accept  
them in lieu of real currency.
