Didn’t know this guy was still making videos. And now wants also to get rid of nickels.
Waiting for his death to cash video.
And the dime!
And the Hexagon!
Getting rid of paper money sounds good on paper😏, but it’s genuinely a terrible Idea, It allows the government to track every single dollar you spend, right down to your totally legal weed your definitely smoking in Colorado. It would give the US government the surveillance capabilities of visa, Google and Facebook combined. Which is why I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet, the only thing I can think of is it would weaken the dollar to other countries, the US could just turn off an entire country organization or individual’s entire economy, China and any country remotely hostile would immediately dump the dollar.
Not only that, electronic money is dependent of internet connection. If right now an internet outage of a few minutes is pure chaos in most retail, imagine not having something to fallback on a longer outage.
Death to anything less than a dollar, while we’re at it let’s make $5, 10, $25, $50 coins get rid of the paper versions and make paper $500, $1000, and $1500, just shift everything up, then everyone named me is happy.
Wait until we have someone who isn’t obsessed with putting their name and face on every possible thing.
This would be great. I love coins.
But your coins don’t even have a face of a king and cool latin words on them, so they aren’t quite as great as I’d like.
