What sort of currency would be used in place of paper dollars, gold or bitcoins after the bombs drop, the glaciers melt or the Dark Ones roam the streets?

Would there be a straight barter system, and if so, how screwed are you?

Better start stocking up on bottlecaps, mil spec. bullets pure hydro, seeds, go juice and guzzolene. They will be the currency of the future!

Barter. Caps is a meme that wouldnt catch on.

Food, clean water, cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, drugs, medical supplies, weapons and ammo etc.

Real world skills will always be useful. I have woodworking, plumbing, welding, hunting, mechanical, computer, general electronics skills. I'm sure I could scratch out a living helping rebuild society if everything went to shit.

Everybody has the fantasy that they will be a 1 man army and strike out on their own when SHTF but that is retarded. Comunities of skilled and intelligent people that work together will always do better than a loner. There just wont be any room for leeches. You will need to pull your own weight and contribute something to the group or you are out.

I'll do just fine.

Currency means jack shit in a post apocalyptic world. It's not going to be like fallout. People will trade things for things if anything like water for food etc..

It has multiple purposes and has a limited amount preventing inflation while also not being produced due to all of the extraction equipment being destroyed.

Krombacher is halfway decent, atleast by far better than anything americans call "beer", though agreed, most of the brands are ass
>>
>>131484677
I can tell you actually know nothing about beer. Americans brew the best beer in the world right now unless you're talking about macros, which are all shit anyway. Look at any top beer list from any recognized critic in the world and it will be absolutely dominated by American breweries. Belgium stands as a powerhouse in the sour game though. Anything from Cantillon is fantastic. Not a sour, but Westy 12 used to get a lot of love too, though 8 is actually better. Still a top tier brew.
