SeaLand should adopt the e-gold AUG as its official money.
Now that is a really BAD idea! There is no need for governments to be involved in money at all, let alone have "official" money and it would be better if they didn't.
Hi Craig,
Ordinarily, I'd agree (and that's one reason I specifically avoided the term "legal tender," actually) but since this can be seen to be an implicit admission by a government that a form of money they aren't involved-with is actually Better Money(tm) unless you're a coin-collector, I'd urge you to reconsider. Frankly, I think this idea would benefit SeaLand _WAY_ more than it is likely to ever benefit e-gold Ltd., if they're even forward-looking enough to do it. Chances are, for example, that HavenCo will do more business than SeaLand. I just want a government like I want an Antarctica spend or an outer-Space spend (or like I used-to want a Koko-the- gorilla spend) -- for symbolic value. JMR
