Candys,candys are testy,possible ti but in any place in the world,easy to exchange,decantrelized
Very good currency in time of crisis,only there is hard to keep them for long term,i like candys
lets make candys reserve currency of the world,will be more happiness

Candy's might be the tastiest currency in the world, but fail on basically all parts of what makes a currency, a good currency. Candy as a medium of Exchange is pathetic. As a Unit of Account, no. Yes, its portable, but not at all durable. Divisibility is average, fungibility? LOL. As a store of value, its the worst currency in the world. But damn son I would eat it all. And I am debating why candy can't be a good currency with a person who thinks candy is decentralized currency oh god.

I think that is a nice way to make great video content, man. I assume he already had the gold, the only resources he required to make this video was to buy chocolate bars and get a friend to film him/hire a guy. Interesting video concept too. It explains a lot about how people perceive situations, often opting for short term benefits and disregarding profit which requires a little hard work and potential 'risk'.

I would certainly go for the silver bar, who gives away free silver bars, that was once in a lifetime opportunity. But i think that all of them didn't choose the silver bar so they won't be judged as money persons

If it happened to me i would be 150$ richer Sad

I like this guy's videos, though some are annoying because they are politicized. Watch the ones where he tries to sell an ounce of gold for $20. I might take a trip to Encinitas some day just to see if I can take him up on an offer.

Well it does feel suspicious and scary if a man on the street offers you steal, it does feel that something is really fishy with that shiny metal. But then why would these people take candies from an adult? Didn't their parents teach them not to do that when they were a kid? Tongue

I don't know why but at the state of the moment, I'd have chosen the candy bar too, and realized I'm stupid enough when I finish eating Tongue

Candy Bar ,ofcourse ? Because the candy will always give me the kind of pleasure which is more than what i desire. All the time , yes. But if i talk about the silver bar. We need to keep in mind that the price of silver keeps on fluctuating , so maybe if a bar of silver is giving me some kind of utility right now , the other day that utility can be less. That's not the case with candy bar.

I don't get you. Where he was shooting the video, jf you watched it, there was a precious metals dealer right in the plaza. They could have walked there, get it checked, sold it, and went to the grocery store to pick up some chocolate bars. Roll Eyes

Yeah, but I think american people are so scared that they will be scammed that they would rather eat candy and not give a fuck about that 10oz silver. Besides, the candy he was offering was also like, really really good Tongue

Despite what footage we saw, you think people are this stupid? Even I was surprised to see how people can be so illogical. Situation might be different if he had gold Wink

You must be kidding me right? Candy bar are 2.6 oz and Silver Bar are 10 oz, so considering price of Silver I could sell easily last one and buy more than 10 candy bars...... Cheesy

This. I don't know whats the point. Even if you holded the candy bar until a candy bar bubble happened, by the time it happens the candy bar you hold would be out of date of consunmtion therefore rendered useless, while silver will still be valuable.

I must concur with this point a metal has no known expiration date while a candy bar most certainly does
Or a tulip bulb perhaps.
Now if the question was this is the last candy bar on the planet and the other person has silver then we really must have destroyed the world.

do you think, that if he will offer same candy bar and 0.5 BTC (paper wallet), result will be different? Well, I will personally hug the guy, because he knows what is bitcoin and he is real, but majority will pick again the candy bar.

people are so suspicious these days, so better for them is to have something sweet in mouth than being "scammed" by piece of metal or useless paper with QR code..

sad but true america's IQ is going down. Everyday I drive the roads I am always amazed at the stupidity I see and encounter. I really do hope a rapture happens sooner than later so these fucking idiots will go away.

The rapture already happened, but there's no Jesus Christ, it was all actually about satoshi.
Satoshi is the second comming, and what will set us free from the global evil fiat scam that keeps us enslaved in insane taxes and ridiculous debts.

I hope we are not equating to that on how a monkey thinks. If you let it choose between a silver and candy bar, it will obviously choose the candy bar. The point i think he wants to convey is how there are really people who fail to see the potential and just pure laziness. Instead of choosing silver and selling it for tons of candy bar, the prefer fast easy method.

I watched the video and came to a conclusion that americans are rather really stupid and don't understand the value of silver, its fucking silver man. I am pretty sure people would not be choosing candy bars if there was gold offered next to it. How fucking dumb was that, what I saw? You don't want something because you don't know how to deal with it, so you'd rather just eat a fucking candy? FUCKITY FUCK STUPID.

it would be interesting to see what chinese people would do in that situation.

I thought either I am too high and reading things wrong, but wait, are people seriously considering a candy bar over a silver bar?! How the fuck does that make sense? I'd rather buy a fucking silver bar, sell it off and buy 5 times the candy bar I could with that money. Obviously I would choose a silver bar, but please help me explain why would a person choose candy over silver and please don't give me that volatile bullshit.

What if the candy bar melts? I choose the silver bar! Think about how many candy bars I can buy with a silver bar, loads!
