@mina @Nickiquote not only that, but anything that even closely resembles #cash in terms of #anonymitiy anf #fungibility like #Monero gets criminalized.
- Not to mention cash just works and IMHO curbing on it's use is inherently bad, to the point that I thing the #ECB should make an #ES2 version of the #500EuroBanknote as the rising #Greedflation makes it more "necessary" than before...
People who argue one doesn't need cash because #card and #NFC #payment and #SEPA #WireTransfer exist would also argue people don't need #PressFreedom because they can write #LettersToTheEditor...
- TBH I think that cash should be enshrined as acceptable payment methods, as the only exceptions I know [i.e. #RealEstate and #CarRental] are grounded in #security concerns:
Most car rental places don't want to handle cash and demand #KYC for insurance reasons and most banks and notaries (who also have to do KYC & #AML anyway!) have less money onsite than the average Supermarket has in a single cash drawer and don't like having that much stuff onsite anyway.
