Some people, like me, collect TBT Bells from posting and then have nothing to do with them as they don't buy art or collectibles. It makes sense for us to sell them to people who do want to buy collectibles and art from people on the forums, and it makes sense for whoever is selling them to sell them for the best price then can get, yes?
Should TBT bells now be abolished?

I feel like you're a bit biased considering the amount and rarity of collectibles that you have.
Agreed, it's kind of ironic that a person with tons of collectibles would make a thread like this x3
If your only complaint is exchanging them for AC bells, why didn't you propose disallowing that as oppose to completely abolishing them? Either way, the AC bell has decreased in value compared to the TBT bell, which is not really a big deal. The value of game bells has always had a negative relationship with the length in which the game has been out. As people earn more bells in the game, the total amount of bells in the virtual economy are increased, so the value of a single bell decreases. This is how it works in the real world too.
That being said, the amount of people actually exchanging the two currencies is not very high. Sure, being rich in Animal Crossing gives you an advantage with TBT Bells because of the exchange, but so does posting a lot on the forum, being active enough to buy rare collectibles, etc.

Wow, this is an interesting thread! Because when you and Flop and other posters upped the exchange rate way up from 300K/400K per 100 TBT back in fall, I did think, whoa, how do these people have so many bells? But it never occurred to me to make a thread accusing the new wave of posters of being cheats. 
It seems that the only real complaint you have is the current exchange rate, and acceleration upwards, may leave you behind and price you out of the market. Welcome to the club! As in the real world and here, sometimes that happens.
But if you had no complaints of the system when it worked in your favor, you shouldn't complain now. You didn't feel bad about users you were pricing out back in fall and early spring - in fact, I agree, you shouldn't have felt bad, it's just economics. But in the same vein, the new wave of posters who have more then 1 mil bells per 100 TBT bells right now should not feel bad either. They are just doing what you did back in the day.

They are a more liquid form of currency and that's why I personally like them. Its useful for shops like mine that don't necessarily deal with in-game things and TBT makes the transaction that much faster.
That would be great! Collectibles should just be one per person and free.

I don't see why "rich" people shouldn't be allowed to join a giveaway. It's a giveaway, not a charity. Why should a lazy person who doesn't do things to earn bells be allowed to join when the hard workers aren't. Why can't those who work hard be allowed to get something for free for once? ^^
Anyway, I don't see a reason for the TBT to disappear. I find it good that they exist, and I can charge that instead of in-game bells that are easily duped. There are only so many TBT Bells, and obtaining them is harder than getting bells, which makes it a better currency to charge so I myself won't have to spend hours on doing things that is paid for by a 10 minute duping session. ^^

Regarding the bell making thing --- I have little over 50mill now, so I'm out of buying TBT now until I make some more island trips...unlike popular assumption, me (& many other "rich" people) do not have infinite bells!

I used to make a huge amount of money through stealing fruit from the island games. Back then I didn't really know about the bug and fish on the island.
Thanks to selling golden roses, I'm set on bells though. Lol
Would breed black roses while cycling, then turn off beautiful town and just turn them all gold.. Sell them for 60k each. I earned money so fast, got to 100m within a week. xD
Now you can just catch a whole ton of bugs and fish, and sell them to a villager in the campsite who pays way more than he should... Fast, easy, effecient.
You don't have to dupe to get rich and be able to buy bells.
