Now that I think about it if everyone is "doom spending" and debtmaxxing trading in their currency and credit for goods/assets because they all have a fear the economy is going to go bust wouldn't that mean that they are basically setting up a bartering system without even knowing it? If that's the case and everything goes tits up and people start trading goods for goods rather than currency for goods then pawn shops would basically be the new banks. I guess what I'm saying is open up a pawn shop today and become the king of shit mountain during the apocalypse as the one stop shop to facilitate financial transactions in the new economy.
