    I don’t know about those minimums. We already fight needles wars to extract others necessary resources, sell them back to them for maximum profits, while also getting them to overspend on stuff that has no practical value, in order to make things a little less expensive for our working class so billionaire and corporate overlords can maximize profit. The general gist of your idea is valid.

    TL;dr the whole world is also us and we would do well to remember that.

      If I’ve learned anything from video game design, it is much easier to balance smaller numbers. You’d have to be careful to figure out the most amount of some small basic staple you’d need and ensure that it wouldn’t have to cost less than 1 cent per unit, however, before setting your minimum value.

      Of course, picking the value of your own local currency without regard to its value on the global market isn’t really feasible.
