It's a trick question. Light bulb sellers only take crypto and no one in the economics forum has any to purchase a new bulb so the light remains dark until crypto eventually crashes and the light bulb sellers start accepting fiat again.

Two posters can screw in a light bulb, provided it is a really, really big light bulb.

Only a monster would invest in Edison’s lightbulbs and his elephant electrocutions. You should all be ashamed

Yeah! I hate that elephant murderer. So what if he invented the light bulb.

I don't have the smarts to contribute to economic discussions, but this one is the funniest I've read on all of C-D for quite a while.

Thanks, RE, and all of you comic relief posters.
