@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.

@erkhyan And then people wounder why folks use Monero, when outside of SEPA, you only have bad (Stripe) or worse (PayPal) options and big CCs like VISA and MasterCard are ruled by prudish pricks which are just aware enough that pr0n and gambling is their lifeline that they expect "paymebt processors" as shims to claim "we don't know [pr0n/gambling site]!"…

@M1k3yv2 @n1k0 Again: "least shitty #Cryptocurrency"...

• Makes.it still easier and better to deal with than #PayPal or other value-removing rentseekers in places like the USA that have no proper wire transfer system in place (i.e. #SEPA is the bare minimum of useable!)...
