Privatised currency would mean that only few would use currency. People would trading with stuff as well as pieces of gold and silver. Not that it would be bad thing. Those things would have real value atleast.

A privately owned currency management firm would try to get as many people using it's currency as possible. It would strike a balance through the market economy to find a highly accurate level of inflation, taking into account people's trust in their currency, the media coverage of how many "certificates of value" they produce and how much they need to run the business. Banks would determine the rate of interest by doing heavy research into the economy, to a much higher dgree and with a lot less corruption than the government. Civil servants trying to do this in the government do not get rewarded millions for how well they predict what is best for the country, they get rewarded with bribes for their part in conspiracies by those who wish to leach taxpayer's money through injustice.

Reality doesn't work that way, otherwise you would find a successful nation using the methods that you described.

Is China socialist, communist, or fascist? Make up your fucking mind.

Given further thought you would go on to realise that reality doesn't work like that either. If good ideas area always used why didn't the Romans and Chinese have an industrial revolution? It is because good ideas aren't always implemented, therefore whether an idea has been implemented or not is no indication of it's worth.

All that is left in this debate is the proof that it would work, or is at least worth a try on a small scale first. I heard some small town in America has started printing it's own legal tender to keep capital within the community and lots of people are using it because the store owners can evade tax and APR and give a discount. Forgotten the name. Google it.

" If good ideas area always used why didn't the Romans and Chinese have an industrial revolution? It is because good ideas aren't always implemented, therefore whether an idea has been implemented or not is no indication of it's worth."

They're irrelevant because AMERICA HAD ONE.

"All that is left in this debate is the proof that it would work, or is at least worth a try on a small scale first."

Libertarianism isn't new. We had "complete economic freedom" at one point, it was called Laissez-faire. It failed miserably.

About the small town you were referring to, let me know when they are making huge progress or expand into a larger town/small city using Berkshares. Then I'll take you seriously.

I am against freedom. There. I said it.
Fuck freedom and all it's ambiguous, undefined, buzzword synonyms.
Fuck anyone who thinks they are free because some dick told them they were and will stay free if they mark a ballet for them.
