Post by: ribuck on April 24, 2011, 08:19:44 AM Carrots are great because they are an inflationary currency and you can't hoard them. You are forced to trade them before they rot. For some reason this notion appeals to old-money people.

You know what? Seriously, I think this is the best viral campaign for bitcoins and we should thank this guy. If this was planned to market bitcoins, it is ingenious. Title: Re: Don't buy bitcoins.

Post by: Anonymous on April 24, 2011, 01:13:47 PM Guys its unfair. People started planting carrots at the start of the growing season and I didnt find out about them till just now. Its a vegetable ponzi scheme because late planters dont get to use the best soil. Some guy even invested all his earnings from carrot farming back into his farm and now owns 30% of the entire carrot crop. :'(

Title: Re: Don't buy bitcoins. Use carrots instead! Post by: ribuck on April 24, 2011, 01:23:21 PM To make things fair we now need urgently modify carrot genome so that carrots shrink over time after they were harvested. Satoshi already thought of that. As soon as you pick them, they start shrivelling up. You have to palm them off onto someone else before they become putrid and worthless.Title: Re: Don't buy bitcoins. Use carrots instead!

"The Economics of Legal Tender Laws (by Jörg Guido Hülsmann) " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-xR-xB84XQ Any comments? Haven't watched it all but according to what Nielsio said it is just a refutation of the theory of value. The thing is that bitcoin is not based on this (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths#Bitcoins_value_is_based_on_how_much_electricity_and_computing_power_it_takes_to_mine_them). So I don't give much crap about this vid. Title: Re: Don't buy bitcoins. Use carrots instead! Post by: mizerydearia on April 24, 2011, 01:59:47 PM In my eyes, he lacks credibility to warrant watching that video. I'd rather make another bad carrot joke on this thread. Do it! Or come visit us in IRC (link in original post) for some fun chatter. Title: Re: Don't buy bitcoins. Use carrots instead!

I found a smart solution to replace them with fresh carrots however, I figured I could grow them in my garden! Anyone else thought of this noble idea? Perhaps I should trademark it ?
