I wish we could make a conservative barter market and stop using any form of currency.

What about state issued tax free bonds as a medium of exchange?

You can, it’s called craigslist. They have trading there, or even if they aren’t posted there you can always make a trade offer. Worstcase they say no thanks.

Why, when we have gold? Unless possession will be outlawed like in the 30s.

Yeah let’s barter instead of using currency. And let’s also live in caves and eat raw bison.

No medium of exchange=no modern economy. Try running a semiconductor factory while paying your engineers in butter and your vendors in salt.
