  • How can this work though? I bought this from this company in Rio de Janeiro, that city is not part of deforestation. This is the GPS position of the company. This is satellite imagery of the company. The company buys stuff from other producers in Brazil, we’re confident none of those are taking place in deforested areas.

    What would satellite data even be? Here you can see our satellite tracking this soy bean from when it was planted, grown, harvester and transported to Europe.

    I mean, the idea does not seem bad. But how do you apply this normative?















  • How many things relevant in your life are made out of gold? I guess jewellery, computer and phone. Real things that matter to people the most are completely unrelated to gold.

    The fact that it is a material that does not degrade makes it a good choice as a vector for value. It is good to be used as money for that reason. If you use iron as money it will eventually rust out and leave you broke.

    The other properties of gold are quite irrelevant to the fact that it has been selected (over and over again through history) as a value vector.



  • The value of gold lies in the fact that other men may be disposed to work their ass off in order to have some shiny things to gift to women in order to have sex. As you can imagine, the power of gold amongst married couples drastically decreases.

    Besides this… History shows humans always gave value to gold. For some reason we got very used into associating gold with value. As such, it is probably something good to have if economy collapses. But it doesn’t really matter if society collapsed.
