I use peakd to write that comment with that code in it. I used peakd all the time. Apparently <ins></ins> is meant to work as well but that doesn't do anything on peakd.
There's also a possibility that it only works in comments but that seems kinda dumb.
I'm assuming @thevenusproject that's here is that Venus Project but looks like they haven't posted in a while. It's theoretically possible (because most things are theoretically possible) but currency is required to make the type of economies we have work and it seems most people can't fathom any other type of economy or the world working in any other type of way.
In my project I know they use time as some kind of currency and there seem to be governments that manage things at a very high level and they seem to manage to get things done, and because I'm focusing on a specific group of characters I only have a really vague idea of how their world works, but I'm otherwise pretty sure we could get there eventually XD
