    Oh yeah? Will what about all the people who last purchased a Dream Cast for their console and are currently waiting the next big bad ass game console of 2019? Huh? What about those people? Do they not deserve to have some fun in the mean time!?

    I mean shit EVERY one is suppose to buy the latest and greatest all the time. I finally upgrade from Atari and get a Dream Cast but nooooo that obsolete now. I'm not aloud to have fun with that console anymore. I sware it was just yesterday I purchased "Congo Bongo" for my Atari, then every one on /. is like dude get a dream cast its sooo cool. yadadada.

    Please don't discourage people from making games on the dream cast. Its just not cool man! I got my DC all set up, I can get all sorts a free and cheap games. The next time I get a new console I'll be pluging into it with my fucking bio-port while living in public storage room drinking protien shakes with a video game that actually makes it taste good, but intill then LONG LIVE DREAM CAST!!! BOYEEEE!

    Yeah, you know a lot of the time inflation is above 2% or damn neer close.

    Do you have a credit card? Banks issue that out. Do you have a car loan a morgage and other type of load? If you have any of the above you are paying a much higher interest then what you are getting to BANKS.

    Its grassroots effort to get the currency out there. It is better the FRN's, and may be more widely excepted in the future. A cam? yeah you know those crafty non-profit groups are always out to get you.

    Read some books on the federal reserve or something.

    Thanks for your input. The silver market is a extremely stable market, but don't let me stop you from doing you own research.

    There are many ways of keeping the "worth" of the FRN, but because of the way the system is there will always be inflation. And there is also the possiblity of the deflation. see what happened to the Japanese economy, and the Argentina colapse.

    >when I'm deciding what currency to use, your making a profit is not exactly a high priority.

    Obvously. Banks have been and will always make more money off you then any person you can think of. I'm know body compared to the power of the federal reserve banks and never will be.

    Thanks for the info on the coins.

    My guess is that we will end up to agree to disagree.

    You have to understand that this currency is not an investment in silver. Its a grassroots movement to return to a more stable inflation proof currency like with the green backs that Licoln had congress create. norfed needed to have a good way to get this currency out and get excepted. Its not just going to happen. So they set up a system that slightly rewards people who spread it.

    Its obvous that are government will not do this.

    I'm sure we can both agree that our 6 trillion defecit is not a good thing, which 50% our income tax goes to pay just the interest alone.

    >The constant hemming and hawing to justify why someone should supply you with $10 in goods for $5 in silver is what dooms it.

    Isn't that better than offering a piece of paper that cost 3 cents make and is only backed by debt and trust? I believe it is. I believe this system does offer reasonable value, more so than a FRS does to say the least.

    Have you ever thought about what would happen if there was a run on U.S. Treasury securities which 40% are owned by foreign interests.

    Pretty interesting stuff. Anyways, I can't possibly see how norfed.org is a "bad thing".

    Peace.

    >Well then why not just agree to use low-markup silver rounds and send the savings to lobbying?

    You will have to enlighten me on what low-markup sliver rounds are.

    >Value is no good if you can't spend it. Moreover, if my FRNs go worthless, I'd say you'd suffer from the resultant economic panic too.

    They are more stable then the FRN's, because they are actually backed. What if these were floating around in Arentina after there clapse? I'd bet you'd get a ton more value out of them then there deflated currency. Anyways this is activism. We are trying to get people to except it. From my experience people have been very receptive to its idea.

    >If you show up with $100 in silver liberties to pay me, why shouldn't I say "exchange them for FRNs, go to a coin shop, buy $100 in silver, and give me that" if I *wanted* silver in payment. As I said, why trade away value (in this case, probably about 5 ounces of silver) to have it be considered a currency?

    Because who wants to walk around with a bunch of heavy silver in there pocket? Its convienent to have a warehouse reciet.

    The facist control is whats coming from the white house right now. Our monetary system needs healthy competition.

    "If it were legitimate attempt at new currency, why does it play off the value of the US dollar, rather than floating against it?"

    Because its the easiest way to get the currency out there when you have it at a 1 to 1 ratio. Eventually it will float against the dollar.

    But why should I pay twice the price for silver?

    Put simply, you aren't. The Liberty Dollar is a currency, not an investment. If you want to buy silver at the spot price, then buy silver bullion. Of course, you'll have to buy quite a large quantity to get it that low.

    We are trying to bring about a positive political and economic reform, and that costs money--not to mention the costs of minting, storage, insurance, printing and distribution, bookkeeping, supporting the Redemption Centers, advertising, and all the other usual expenses of a free-market enterprise which have to be paid for.

    Remember, when you accept a $100 Federal Reserve Note, you are trading $100 worth of goods or services for a 3-cent piece of paper, backed by nothing but debt and delusion. Partial-backing with value is infinitely better than zero-backing with debt.
