@musharbash_b Wildcat bills traded at a massive discount the farther you were from the bank branch. Thus it was local money, so the inverse of stablecoins.
@Bracesco2023 Send the ARA Libertad. Its unsinkable as It's too beautiful to fire upon. Arm it with some old Armstrong Breachloaders, and by the time it gets there, the war should be over.
