What are Socks?
In the year 2023, socks became the primary medium of exchange, with a single pair capable of purchasing a latte at the local coffee shop or getting you out of a speeding ticket. But have you ever wondered how this phenomenon started?
It all began with the rise of athleisure wear, where people began to see socks as more than just a piece of clothing, but as a status symbol, a way to express oneself, and a conversation starter. Fast forward to the Sockpocalypse of 2025, where the value of a single sock was pegged at $50, and you can imagine the chaos that ensued.
How to Use Socks as Currency
- Acquire a pair of socks. The rarer and more ostentatious, the higher their value.
- Find a willing participant in the trade.
- Engage in haggling, using your best negotiation skills to secure the deal.
Sock-Based Economy
