ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

ANCAP (commodity standard)

Okay kiddo, let me explain what ancap and commodity standard mean.

Ancap is short for "anarcho-capitalism," which is a political ideology that believes in a society without a government. In this type of society, private individuals and businesses would be responsible for things that the government typically does, like providing roads, healthcare, and education.

Commodity standard, on the other hand, is a system where a specific commodity, like gold or silver, is used as a basis for an economy's currency. This means that the value of the currency is directly tied to the value of the commodity.

Now, when anarcho-capitalists talk about using a commodity standard, they mean using a valuable material, like gold, as a form of currency instead of paper money or electronic transfers. This is because they believe that commodity-based currency is more stable and harder to manipulate than fiat currency (i.e. currency not backed by a physical object).

So, in short, anarcho-capitalists believe in a society without a government, and they also believe in using valuable materials as currency to make sure the economy stays strong and stable.
