That would save some time, which can save the day, if it lasts until the technocratic system collapses. At the same time, eventually, people will run out of stuff to barter, and the last thing they can barter is their skills, which will make them vulnerable to enslavement by those who wield weapons.
The sad part of that statement is that the people who do have the skills to barter are regularly undercut by the competing money interest. In a buyer's market, the seller can only accept what will be proffered by those buyers. When the skills and tradesmen/women die off, who will be left to fix things?
Today's slavery is based on making the slaves with skills compete with cheaper slaves...
Lots of skilled workers, as you are saying, are dying off, and how many people can prepare animal skin, work as a medieval blacksmith to make tools and weapons? Small-time agriculture wouldn't support city-dwellers and obtaining potable water without the filtering facilities can pose an insurmountable challenge for those who live in arid areas.
When asked about repaying China's national debt, Trump said, "We pay them in Bitcoin, and then they do whatever they want with it"... So yeah, that stinks...
By the way, yes, this is really about collecting people's gold and silver. In the US, people still have a lot of guns, they would be afraid to do the simple mandatory surrender - which they could do in the "communist countries" at the time - but they collect it this way and then ban it if they pay with it...
If DeSantis is saying go Gold there must be a psyop element to it. Maybe step to gold, system fails, then "saved" by CBDC?
The psyop is clear to me: you can use your gold for payments, but cannot receive your salary in gold.
People are going to have to learn to barter, but most don't have skills to barter with.

Will the dollar store have change for my Krugerrand?
Oops! I thought it already changed its name! :)
Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, recently recommended that schools should teach children about Bitcoin.
That is enough right there to let people know there is a trick in the bottom of this well.
Bitcoin always stank...
