You used to be able to watch Jeff Berwick interview people on Anarchast but he got replaced by some other guy
Now I do not know where to find his old Anarchast videos
Now he does Dollar Vigilante videos
But I am not a supporter of bitcoin
I am a supporter of barter without electronic nor paper money
And gift based economics
And distributism but not big government marxist "communist" style distributism
And reducing artificial scarcity
@shortstories Well, the barter system is inefficient. What if you want a product/service but the provider does not accept payment in what you are bartering with? Having money is efficient.
I do not think scarcity is artificial. Every resource is finite even the produced resources.
i.e. There are only so many Porsche 911 GT3 Touring models builany given year. That isnwhat makes then sought after. Commands a high price.
You can barter with gold
People can make tools and art out of gold
I have a problem with paper and electronic money
I suppose you could barter with paper but it would be very heavy
Say someone wanted to put paper in their printer or draw art on paper
But paper money with a 20 symbol on it does not give you more paper than paper money with a 5 symbol on it
There is a difference between genuine and artificial scarcity
Artificial scarcity comes from bad laws & policies
Other examples of artificial scarcity would be farmers destroying their own milk supply to raise the prices
An artist breaking a mold to prevent art reduplication
"the universe is infinite and could have no center"

"Every resource is finite"
@sardonicsmile
Artificial scarcity might be intentionally making a product defective
Making it impossible to repair a vehicle without software that you could duplicate but can not because of software piracy laws
Making skills unable to be used due to regulation and credentialism
Not the good kind of credentialism to prevent incompetant people from working but the bad kind to prevent competant people from working
There are many more types and examples
