This is the only gold I can sell🥇 (for legal reasons this is a joke too)

We’re commies here. You can have all the gold you need. It can take a couple of years and a bunch of approvals, but eventually you get your piece. You’ll need to diy it into the desired shape yourself tho.

For legal reasons this may or may not be a joke.

I actually think it might be an idea to seriously consider and discuss. I mean, awards and badges of honour are given by many communities, there’s no real readon why not to honor someone if they did some much-appreciated thing. It only becomes difficult when the honouring is being done by some questionable “authority”. Boils down to, “who would be the authority here?” – But having (meaningful) badges to give away, and especially if they can be passed on, which are understood as what they are, that is just some electric patterns in computers which we interpret in a certain way, why not. This can be a way of community financing – see it as wealth redistribution. “So i have some money which i want to put into the community, and i get visibly honoured for it, and i can pass that non-thing on, that’s a virtual incentive!”

ah shit…here we go again
