Any suggestion to alternatives?
Yes, how about "bearer
services"?
Instead of things that must be bought and sold and carried and stored,
I am trying to think of services than can be traded easily, but are difficult to confiscate. Even difficult to see.
Some thoughts:
1. Quietly moving money/precious metals from one place to another.
Sometimes referred to as, "location swap".
Example: When currency controls were imposed in South Africa,
one man made a business of round-about exchanges to get people's
funds into a neutral country. He described his service (but not
the intricate details) many years ago on the old forum for Pecunix.
Another example: Hawala money brokers -- the ancient money transfer
system that used to be common among Muslims and Hindus.
2. Quietly moving people from one place to another.
One acquaintance likes to do various kinds of "grey-market"
businesses. Nothing he does is quite "straight", but not exactly
illegal either. Explained to me one time that he had bought two, small,
fishing boats, commercial fishing boats. Then leased them
back to the previous owners. Surprised me, "Oh, so there's
money to be made in fishing, eh?" "No," he answered, "but
some day might need to move my family out of here in
a very quiet way." And, though he did not say it, by implication
to move other people out, too. Another example along similar lines:
When the communists came into South Vietnam, fishing boat captains started
making a lot of money taking people to Philippine islands. Many years
ago my secretary was a Vietnamese woman whose family got out that way.
Okay, is that enough to prime to pump for discussion of "bearer services"?
PS - Neither of those suggestions requires the Internet.
