Correct: socialism works great just until you run out of people's money.

I remember seeing screenshots where Venezuelan gold farmers were begging other players in broken English not to gank or report them because they had families to feed. You really don't know whether to laugh at or feel pity for them.

These same people would praise socialism if the getting was good. Once it fails then they want the world to feel sorry for them. Fuck them.

Dude, 100x what they're actually worth is what, a cup of coffee? Still, interesting point on trying to get things out of the country.
I'd advise you wait it out. I mean, you can get Zimbabwe trillion dollar bills off of Ebay for two bucks. Unless your concern is that when Venezuela finally collapses the situation caps with everything being burnt to the ground.

I wouldn't mind collecting some either. Its like the Romanian dinari, it will be worth money when they get valued currency and discontinue the notes someday.
Right now you could probably get some of it for the literal price of a case of toilet paper as TP is worth more than Venezuelan currency both inside and outside Venezuela.
There's no need to go around offering to pay 1k for it.
Foreign currencies are an untouchable investment that attorneys and the IRS cannot touch unless you're a stupid fuck and still safer than digital.
Who the hell needs a whole briefcase of it? I sure as fuck don't.

What's sad is that this was originally about runescape currency being worth more and they are trying to ride the same train.

I keep hearing this argument, but I think every one has it wrong. It now has no currency and every one is bartering. How do you tax bartering? How do you protect from currency inflation with a chicken? Make more chickens? Oh no, how sad.

That's what they are doing with our housing market. That ain't no chicken.

I was watching RT and they were speaking about the introduction of tuition fees in higher education to compete with America and every fucking socialist Administrator and Government official had rotting, hyper-gingivitis, advanced visible tartar build up, and bone loss. Thanks 4k tele
What good is a free education if you are scheduled for heart disease, stroke or death by 55?!

About as good as owing someone with a family history of early sudden death from heart disease and stroke collecting said debt..

WoW is a capatilist game. You need a source of income just to play it every month.
