If we end up in an almost Fallout-like apocalypse, I can see this being true for large denominations. But they're so fragile when compared to bottle caps.
Pokémon is a global phenomenon. I’m absolutely convinced that if the world suffered an apocalypse tomorrow, the following day the global currency would be Pokémon cards. Pokémon cards are beating the S&P 500 by 3,000 percent. Emanating from Japan, it really took hold around the world in the late ’90s and early 2000s. It then had a zenith moment and then a nadir moment, and ever since then, it’s been on a parabolic growth curve. And that really has driven the international market expansion for trading cards.
This is how you know that you're too far up your own butt
I think its still a case where we know, but we have to wonder: does the subject know? Or do we know once you have a post in ~lol with your name on it?
<subscribes to lol>This feels like a top signal
I think the only way Pokémon cards could be exchanged for money is if the world keeps running the way it does now. Otherwise, I believe they’ll only be good for fueling a fire on cold nights.
When society collapses, I’m not trading canned beans for a holographic Charizard. I’m eating the guy who brought the binder.
