Yes, but I understand what he means with those people using barter before BTC.
I lived the same damn situation, when money, on any form, are not useful anymore. The survival is at such high limits that every day is like your last day. So you will exchange anything you have for anything you can find to survive.
Is a really bad situation that westerners cannot even imagine...
Darth,
Where are you living?
The USA?

btw the USA is a CORPORATION.
Can you live inside a corporation?
You can say, "I live in the North American continent..." that is totally another thing.

Only shitizens and slaves pay taxes.
Sovereign individuals do not have to pay taxes to other nations.
My own gov (aka me) declared taxes prohibited in my own country (my body).

The USA?
Hell NO! That will be soon the new North Korea...

Undefined location. Wherever I go I live in my own country and I do not give a shit about any political state. Nobody can deny your status when you position yourself as a true sovereign individual in his own nation.
I live in my own body, my body is my own country, state, gov.
Don't believe me? Here is proof:
https://www.oas.org/juridico/english/treaties/a-40.html
The Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is an international treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933.
The convention establishes the definition of the State, its rights and obligations.
In Article 1 it establishes four characteristic criteria of a State that have become part of customary international law.
They have been recognized as confirmation in International Law, establishing that a State as a person of International Law must meet the following requirements:
ARTICLE 1
The State as a subject of International Law must meet the following requirements:
I. Permanent population
- yes, is just me with myself
II. Determined territory
- yes, is my own body, the external limits of my body are the boundaries of my territory. Any violation of these boundaries is a violation of my state.
III. Government
- yes, is me, the whole government, I can govern myself, I do not need anybody to govern me, I am a grown up man
IV. Ability to enter into relations with other States
- yes, I welcome anybody to enter in cordial relations with my "state".
Under these guidelines, any entity that meets these criteria can be considered a sovereign state under international law, whether or not it has been recognized by other states.
ARTICLE 3
The political existence of the state is independent of its recognition by other states.
Even before being recognized, the State has the right to defend its integrity and independence.
ARTICLE 7
The recognition of the State may be express or tacit. The latter results from any act that implies the intention to recognize the new State.

Darth, Where are you living? The USA? I live in CUBA.
Only those who have suffered under shitty communism can understand what we experience here.

You are in Cuba?

Unfortunately I live in Cuba.
Right now in Cuba there are several currencies, CUP (OFFICIAL PAYMENT CURRENCY FOR WORKERS) MLC (ANOTHER CUBAN DIGITAL CURRENCY THAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IS BACKED BY FOREIGN CURRENCY)
RICE, SUGAR, BEANS, CLEANING PRODUCTS, to barter.
"Government money" has no value anymore.
Bitcoin is suffering here, but I'm not going to leave it.
Recently I didn't have fiat money to pay for products. I have SATs that I have stacked up, but I couldn't use them as a form of payment. Option? I HAD TO EXCHANGE MY SATS FOR CRAP TO PAY.

In your shity situation, Bitcoin is very useful if you have to flee from that place.
You just go with nothing on you, just 12 words.
Bitcoin is literally "fuck you money".
