    it would basically make money meaningless, and we’d probably go back to trading goods-for-goods after a while

    The barter system wasn’t ever a thing, Adam Smith was full of shit, and as long as the US government taxes us in USD, it’ll always be relevant to us.

    I should go exchange all of my savings for a different country’s currency before the shit hits the fan, but I’m not even sure which country’s currency would make sense.
