Call it whatever you like. It's merely operating on your own terms.

Developing a system is really as simple as discovering the origins of real 'money' and putting those to practice.

Real money has to be:

1. A common means of exchange
2. Related to human labor
3. Scarce (somewhat optional)

Any easily exchangeable commodity would be sufficient to use as money - it could be coffee, rice, beans, gold, silver, ammunition, whatever. Food specifically of any kind is also a good idea.

Otherwise, people can use trade (direct exchange) if they want, but generally a common means (money) will always arise in the market.

The easiest way of starting this is to stop using FRNs or other fiat currency in your transactions with your friends and family. Don't ask for money, ask for trade in rice or some other commodity or hours of labor.

There are online ways of exchanging the ownership of gold electronically, that might be of interest to some people.

A good start would be checking the places that accept gold and silver. The Liberty Dollar should have a list of places in your locale that use it so that's one reference.

Yes, it certainly does.

Yeah, it looks like everyone is out of silver, gold, plat, etc. They were selling for higher than the trade value. I don't think this has happened before. I didn't even think it was possible.

I did find this though:

I have sold all of my gold, and am investing in Lead. Better ROI in the future I think.

@Enki: will you be going and trying to save all of the Nuke Dumps in the US with all of the solid Lead?

Or are you just trying to stay afloat with some falling stock options?

Yeah, I misunderstood.  I thought you were speaking of lead like lead acid battery, a mineral or metal type..

So your trading gold for ammo, sounds like a wonderful solid plan.
