ammo will never become the most salable good in a hyperinflation event because if it is the most desired good then no one will sell it since no one will trust each other.
during hyperinflation trusted relationships are all that matters.
friends, families and local services like food and healthcare are all that matters.
ammo implies a war zone and there is no trade in a war zone
Of course there is trade in warzones, often called black market... Something like a libertarian wet dream... Not nice nor fun if you need stuff to survive.
in a true war zone where everyone is at war with each other there is no trade there is just theft
Hunting? Community defense?
I don't think ammo has to be the "most salable" to barter well
ammo is a great tool but educators like #[3] are constantly talking about ammo as one of the most salable goods during hyperinflation and although it is good to have the hyperbole is most certainly false
the easiest way to think about this is to just imagine a situation where ammonia so important...would you trade it away for food...to someone who would then just use the ammo to shoot you.
no way!
when ammo becomes that important then mad max has occurred and it is true pvp...no trade is occurring
ammonia = ammo
Interesting read here. I do think ammo is a good barter tool, albeit not available-for-sale to just anyone.
