see and that's why i like you! you know what's important
all right here's the thing the thing is this fugo and i are dating
that's it! that's the whole thing, there i did it good job me
also: thank you for the scarf, that is tangentially related and i forgot because frankly this week has been weird but it's beautiful and appreciated because it's cold here dave
i've been trying to figure out what a good currency would be i haven't had success with creating a mint and my other thought was emeralds, but it seems unwieldy, you know?
aw ok good to know and also of course youre welcome for the scarf i hope it keeps you warmer than a scarf of actual flowers would
now the key thing about currency i think anyway is convenience convenience and agreement on the basic worth of things so honestly even before talking about materials its worth figuring out what exactly the basic commodity is here if its not grain and ill tell you what i think it is gg i think its labor think about it
i havent totally worked that out yet but in my head the ideals something like you know how i was like "ok my youthful shoveling back is worth twenty bucks an hour" and made people sign a thing if people could work out how much their time is worth given their training or profession or expertise or whatever adjusting for inflation over time and different standards of living across the universe it wouldnt be so hard to standardize things after that?? and then its like ok manual labor generally is worth ten cobblestones a day except dont actually use the cobblestones as currency theyre different sizes and also then well have holes in the streets

people transfer services far more than goods, barter-wise
hm so
how does that translate to a physical currency
