Imagine all the energy it costs to fuel money: all the bank vaults, all the armored cars, the security staff, all the numerous 24/7 backup systems… You don’t have an argument if you’re implying that fiat is better. The only leveler of the playing field would be bartering or no currency, like the native Americans did.
The joke was about the old Indian commercial about, “something something once everything is dead, you will learn that money can’t be eaten” or some shit.

What the fuck are you talking about? This was a joke.

I know. I’m pro-BTC, though (but anti-all-other-coins, to clarify). My point is that one could say the same of USD or any other fiat.

Millenial humor I guess.
