Oh no! I can't support Marxist-Mart! What ever shall I do with all these fish, ducks, and deer around here? That boat is looking mighty fine too along with all this water to stop for the night.
Lol yeah, if all this globalist tyranny happens, Americans might as well declare independence again. Why not make a conservative CHAZ in a rural area red state? 🤔
Or Monero.
...Or a new ERC-20 token.
If there are any "hacktivists" left, they could make a privacy coin on the Ethereum Blockchain.
I am sure it would be "banned", but the Gov. so far doesn't have the best track record of being able to 100% shutting down and control the use of "banned" tech.
Nah man, you gotta look into it some more if you think that. That’s fake news. The US dollar is the ponzi scheme. If bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, who is at the top of it?
There is inherent value in a network of verifiable transactions that cannot be controlled by a central government. There is no inherent value in a piece of paper that represents a number in a computer. The US dollar isn’t backed by anything but numbers in a computer. Every time they “print” more the value of your dollar goes down.
On top of that, fractional reserve banking means that when banks give out loans, they don’t even have to have that money on hand. The entire system is phony.
There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin in existence. You can’t just print more after that. What makes bitcoin a scheme but the US dollar is legit? They’re both just numbers in a computer. One has a limit to how high that number can go.
I never said out system wasn’t a Ponzi scheme. It is. But to contradict your statement about bitcoin not being controlled by a central government, out system isnt controlled by government either. The issue with bitcoin is that the other party has to recognize the value of it. And with so many crypto currencies out there which one wins? And when the other fail what do you have to show for it. With that being said going from tangible asset backed to federal (it’s not) reserve and promissory. The other issue we all have to accept is that these systems and institutions are so embedded timeline wise as well as size it’s almost impossible to institute change.
Most of the other crypto currencies are shit for so many different reasons. Bitcoin is the original and has the highest price for a reason, partly because a lot of people throughout the world do recognize the value of it.
Well, I do cull every 1982 and prior penny I get, because that's the only remaining US coin in circulation that's worth more than face value. All the later ones, like say a 2012 penny, I refer to as a zinc POS Obomba penny.
Yes, but the silver coins are more difficult to find in circulation, however, I've found a few. When I do find them in change, it's usually because i paid cash at an icecream place or other establishment that attracts kids. I think some kids find a load of quarters at relative's and think they're just quarters, so they grab a handful not realizing they're silver. They make a unique noise, so they're easily spotted.
Oh yes, the clang they make is quite different. And the sides are different. I have gotten exactly TWO in all of my time out of change at the store - and this was back about 10 years ago. I get mine from Ebay or online or at gold/silver/coin stores.
All my scrap silver coins have come from estate auctions. I have hundreds if not thousands of silver coins from auctions. Hey, when they're giving away 10 Morgan's for $120, it's not difficult to stand there and buy every lot. Lol!
Auctions are hit or miss, so you have to attend many of them. Some days people are paying more than retail for used stuff, other days, they're practically giving stuff away. Obviously, I like the latter. Especially when it's mostly women interested in knickknacks, while all the tools, coins and guy stuff is overlooked. Not every buyer can be at every auction.
I remember, after he passed, sorting through coins that my grandfather had coffee cans full of in his closet. Coolest ones I remember were a couple silver dollars from 1796 or 1798. Felt like I was holding history.
It is really cool to think about the history, if it could only talk. I got into cast iron a number of years ago, collecting Griswold, Wapak, Erie and others. Amazing that I've found, bought and restored skillets, dutch ovens and other items that were made in the late 1800's and I still cook with them today!
It isn't much but it makes me feel better every time I hoard a copper penny. Today's melt value of a copper penny is $0.0184856 and obviously fluctuates with the cost of copper. Apparently in 1982, they switched to making zinc pennies mid year. I've yet to find a zinc penny from 1982 confirmed by weight. The copper pennies weigh more than zinc pennies. In fact, they make sorting machines that will kick out the lightweight pennies, leaving only copper. I have a friend that was sorting them by the bucketful with one about 6 years ago. No shit, he had about 15 five gallon buckets filled with copper pennies.
coin shortage historically usually means that nation's currency is on the verge of inflation collapse. Perfect time to get a fixed rate mortgage I say.
the article says the shortage is due to places to change coins closed and generally businesses closed means people aren't spending their coins just saving them.
so their answer,.....have the mint produce more coins lol
why not just reopen the businesses and let people spend their existing coins again?
Have you seen anyone under, say, the age of 35 attempt to make change when in fact you DO tender cold, hard cash? You can literally see the Biden-level drooling start. More fine products of our fine public edu-macation.
This sign makes about as much sense as the one posted at Popeyes Chicken: ATTENTION CUSTOMERS. Due to the Tyson plant closure, Red Beans and Rice will not be available.
I cannot find any Tyson plant that does anything but meat and meat-like vegetable substitutes. Never found and red beans nor any rice at any of their facilities.
That's OK, I have heavy investments in lead...🐸🇺🇸
Easy solution is to use the self Checkout lane at Lowes and pay with all that loose change you've been hoarding.
It is the way.
Oh no! I can't support Marxist-Mart! What ever shall I do with all these fish, ducks, and deer around here? That boat is looking mighty fine too along with all this water to stop for the night.

Normalize cashless. Only credit, deny charges for items you don't like.
Next step is to eliminate credit cards and use RFID implants.
If this happens it’ll be great news for bitcoin.
Or Monero. ...Or a new ERC-20 token. If there are any "hacktivists" left, they could make a privacy coin on the Ethereum Blockchain. I am sure it would be "banned", but the Gov. so far doesn't have the best track record of being able to 100% shutting down and control the use of "banned" tech.
Too much of a ponzi scheme for my taste.
Nah man, you gotta look into it some more if you think that. That’s fake news. The US dollar is the ponzi scheme. If bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, who is at the top of it?

Highly suggest taking a look through some of these educational resources so you can see for yourself: https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html

The coins have slave masters faces on them. They must be destroyed.
This is the next play.
I mean, isn't harriet tubman supposed to be appearing on the $20 bill soonish? Or did that all get shelved?
The last I read, Jackson was staying on the front, but Tubman and others would be on the back somehow. Not really sure.
But, Just wait, Dems will "discover" she was a God loving, gun totin' Republican and they'll not want it anymore.
Replace the only good Democrat president? Preposterous!
It's all you cocksuckers with the water jugs full of coins. Roll 'em up, you lazy bastards.
true, just make sure to give them a quick once over and make sure there's nothing cool or unique before going this route.
Coinstars, at least in my area, were offline for the first few months of the scamdemic.
Not sure if due to contagion fear or deemed non- essential.
Guilty. Although in my case it's more like random glasses and ziplocks.
I pretty much always have at least $30 worth of change lying around the house
I use a peanut butter jar, thank you.
Username relevant.

Many credit unions have coin machines without a surcharge if you have an account.
Seems to be a thing: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-coin-shortage-federal-reserve-step-in-powell-coronavirus-ration-2020-6?op=1
Weird. Hadn't heard of this until your post.
I just don't understand a coin shortage when we were locked down for months and not using cash?
Agreed. I am sensing some kind of fuckery going on. Not sure what, but it is weird.
People usually hoard things of value during a crisis. Look at the wiemar hyper-inflation after WW1

Manufactered shortage

copper. I have loads of them. Quarters from 1964 and earlier have silver, too.
Yes, but the silver coins are more difficult to find in circulation, however, I've found a few.

Wow! I admit I'm jealous, lol.

how do you find good auctions? I've always been interested, but never looked into it.
What year are the silver quarters?
1964 and prior, I have all kinds of years, some of my earliest ones are from the mid 1800's.
I remember, after he passed, sorting through coins that my grandfather had coffee cans full of in his closet. Coolest ones I remember were a couple silver dollars from 1796 or 1798. Felt like I was holding history.

Cuz they dont' wanna candle cash/coin more than necessary due to the COVID fears, kourtesy of Karen
lol so stupid.
the article says the shortage is due to places to change coins closed and generally businesses closed means people aren't spending their coins just saving them.
so their answer,.....have the mint produce more coins lol
why not just reopen the businesses and let people spend their existing coins again?
In what state and city is this picture from. I was I my local Lowe's the other day, and I saw no signs like this.
Coin shortage, protesters destroy them because of their racist imagery.
Why? I mean how many people pay with cash today? I rarely see it.
I was mostly cash up until a few months ago because I need to use my card to make it worth it. Will gladly go back to cash if needed.
They don't want to sound too Karen - they just don't want to touch your cash.
I saw a similar sign the other day, weird
Almost like it was planned. HONK HONK. Anyone remember the 70's gas crisis. The stations had the signs a week or two before the event.
Not for nothing, but when you're about to run out of something you generally realize it before you're flat out.
NESARA, I hope!
Let's use this as an opportunity to get rid of the penny. I fucking hate pennies.

Intentional incompetence to make people lose faith in the government. Makes it easier to overthrow later.
