Alternate Currencies


Recommended Posts

Well, seeing is Bitcoin is regarded by some as a viable payment alternative with actual value being nobody ever has to deal with banks, which is always a good thing.

 

I was also wondering what else has real value instead of money, I say gold and silver is always good investment as well as whisky!

 

Yes I said that, whisky or any malt of your choice.

 

Anything that you can stock up on that can be traded for labour or favours then why not.
