Hypothetical

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Say you owned a business which offered good or services that people really wanted. What would you accept as payment besides money?
Bonus points if you can come up with something besides getting to write it off on your taxes. Thanks!

A brother was mentioning creating a currency that used a volunteer hour as a standard.

A good or service that you yourself would want; otherwise it would have no value to you. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It would have to in some respects be a viable equal, I'll sell you corn for your green beans. Barter was a good example of this type of thinking. Depends on your needs and their needs. That's just from a business standpoint. I've got a jar of dirt. I've got a jar of dirt. And guess what's inside it!

Most people tend to instinctively try to exploit the systems that try to exploit them. So if it's by time they might try cutting corners to get on top, get the most out of it for them.
Word definitions and value, enforcement by heart and allied associations. People work and talk nice when they think someone's checking. Why do good in secret or speak truth to someone's face.
Getting more than they give.
In marketing people might not eat what they sell. They might consider the consumer population as stupid dogs who they can trick to eat empty cheap leftovers. Why give your best what you want for yourself, so it's a rough economy. Who'd really take care of anyone at their own expense.

It's like with any "currency" it begins with inspiring confidence in those who "trade" it. There'd have to be an organization and a standard by which to valuate it.

Parents and even celebrities say "I love you"
And lots of people say all sorts of nice sounding titles and point fingers...but the words themselves don't mean the same implications
Orthodox, compassion, polite, nice....every single word means something in the context a man thinks...to his culture
People toss around words and lie, it's pretty empty and just slides right out the mouth because it's what's expected to be said

Check how offended someone is when someone is against Jesus...
Or specifically "their" Jesus...in regards to their religious boasting or money sources and status
People do and say anything when someone might be watching
For what substance they're after
