I think porno mags should be currency! At least pics. Then the more we have, the more they're worth! Face it, some guys aren't really gonna want to part with theirs!

@RadarKat73080 It's great that you're thinking about competing currencies... But the more of something you have, the less valuable it gets.

@jeffy12 Are you fucking dumb?

[Funnypandalonies]

it's called supply and demand. it's not only in your civics and economy books in in your history books. the idea of it is, the less you have of a good thing that everyone wants the more it's worth. the more you have of something good or bad, the less it's worth. becausse the demand of that thing is no longer there if everyone has it.

bender annnn your wrong only if everyone has more of something its value decreases like diamonds if everyone had them they wouldn't be so much money

@MeatLoafEnchilada Not always... Compare Disney Dollars or monopoly money to US Dollars. It's about Confidence in the currency and government, and confidence in what it's worth. The individuals that trade set the price based on their own beliefs.

This is not about an economic crisis. He is talking about souls.
