Carrots also have intrinsic value because they are directly useful: should I get hungry, I can eat them.

You can also feed your alpacas with them.

Dont take it the wrong way...we are parodying the guy in the picture.

http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=6417.0 see the bitcoin forum thread. It is an inside joke amongst the bitcoin community.

Ah, my mistake, then. With all the recent hubbub and debate, it was not immediately clear that this wasn't simply a sarcastic and elaborate jab.

Oh, okay. My apologies. I'll take the site down. Please forgive me.

As it's not immediately obvious, the original site being parodied: http://www.weusecoins.com/

that is the one. We added the link for you.

I have to say, I appreciate a 'financial' community with a sense of humor.

Show HN:Bitcoin parody site - we use carrots.
