65 sats \ 11 replies \ @BTCLNAT OP 23 Oct \ parent \ on: Barter, double inflation and Bitcoin. bitcoin
Unfortunately I live in Cuba.
Right now in Cuba there are several currencies, CUP (OFFICIAL PAYMENT CURRENCY FOR WORKERS) MLC (ANOTHER CUBAN DIGITAL CURRENCY THAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IS BACKED BY FOREIGN CURRENCY)
RICE, SUGAR, BEANS, CLEANING PRODUCTS, to barter.
"Government money" has no value anymore.
Bitcoin is suffering here, but I'm not going to leave it.
Recently I didn't have fiat money to pay for products. I have SATs that I have stacked up, but I couldn't use them as a form of payment. Option? I HAD TO EXCHANGE MY SATS FOR CRAP TO PAY.

In your shity situation, Bitcoin is very useful if you have to flee from that place. You just go with nothing on you, just 12 words. Bitcoin is literally "fuck you money".

Bitcoin has always been "fuck you money." I always laugh when the airlines say $10,000 limit.

I even told them (airport guys) once that I carry with me millions of money. They search for hours and found nothing. In the end I told them that is futile all their search because the money are in my head. I just laugh and walk away.
