This is your reminder that potatoes are an objectively superior currency to Bitcoin or any other crypto

A Potato:
- Shows inherent proof of work
- Hacker proof
- Valid in any country
- Works in any century
- Accessible at any tech level
- Delicious and nutritious
- Is also a battery
- Can be turned to rocket fuel (AKA vodka)

@cypnk Not really, as it's not as fungible as #Monero, but also perishable and has a poor density when it comes to value per weight / volume.

But then again the same applies for #Euro banknotes which are so powerful, #FUD'sters are the reason the €500 banknkte is being pulled fron circulation.

@kkarhan Unlike all of those though, you don't need electricity or a network connection to "mine" potatoes. And it's a truly distributed currency in that I can provide an independent source for my purposes as well as you can

@cypnk case in point, comparing a #Potato with actually fungible #currency is a bit unfair for both given the unique properties of each.

Money was invented as a fungible means to exchange values beyond 1:1 exchanges of items.

#Monero was invented as a digital alternative to #Cash and better alternative to #PayPal.

And yeah, #Potatos are for the most part good amd healthy sources of #Starch & #Carbohydrates, thus very useful as a means to feed people directly.
