Anyone have any good resources, apps and websites for getting in touch with or starting parallel economies in the communities we are in?

Going to be endless unemployed thanks to mandatory vaccines. And on top of that, taxes are going to skyrocket. Gotta get under the table now.

BetterBarter is inefficient compared to currency. No need to use theirs; plenty of real money coins.

It's kind of funny.

Have you ever heard of the diamond in the desert paradox?

In any event when shit hits the fan and you're trying to buy a chicken with gold coins you'll probably just wind up in the pig slop.

Yes, it depends on your time horizon. If things are really immediate, only food and water matter. But if you have a longer horizon, barter is less efficient. Use the appropriate one for the circumstance. I don't think we're at a point where currency/money are irrelevant.

The problem is people aren't familiar with what the value of the items are and are less likely to trade for it.

When you're using currency you're still bartering just using a medium of exchange. When the medium of exchange is uncommon it is indistinguishable from straight barter.
