I don't know what it is in other countries but in France there are local currencies, about 80.

Although it is difficult to determine an exact number, it is estimated that there are about 80 on French territory. Through a social, environmental, local or even regional objective, their interest is to convey the values ​​that conventional currencies no longer embody today, and this movement is arousing growing enthusiasm if we are to believe a report by the Sol Movement , which oversees local currencies at the national level, published in early 2021. ID offers you a non-exhaustive list of local currencies in circulation by region, as well as an evolving map.

A friend was bragging to me about the merits of her local currency, but I wonder what's the point since we have bitcoin? Bitcoin which obviously includes the world population. I did not really understand the objectives of these local currencies, I was wondering if local currencies existed in other countries and if people understood the interest of these local currencies which seem to undergo inflation like the fiats.

Just now that I heard something like 80 currencies in a country that spendable ,
in ours there are only couple of paper and coins that stands in each value .
but seriously in france  that is a huge count lol.

maybe If I live in place such that and has a chance to use only one , then i will choose bitcoin instead for less complication .
and will people gonna memorize such lot of coins?
