that's how she always gets a free breakfast everyday 😄

The EU is getting more authoritarian by the day

Tough times ahead. Use incensorable money.

Crazy. Already with 50€ you are like "bothering" them in most EU country. At least in Switzerland we ca still use our 200Fr (=215€ today) note officially everywhere. I paid my bread with a 50Fr note this morning, it was very welcomed, much more than credit card with high fees. The 1000Fr note is mostly refused, especially if you try to pay less than 200 CHF with it but for a large enough purchase it should be accepted.

She can change the shop or make is own coffee at home . Simple solution . She never ( very hard) to learn at her age about bitcoin .

Nice of you

Classic example of how rigid fiat systems punish the innocent. Bitcoin exists precisely to avoid these absurd gatekeepers and empower everyone with true financial sovereignty.

Using an old fedcoin isn't different from boomers trying to make an impact. Study Monero.

You are so nice 😊

Nice of you to jump in, but you’re missing the real reason she couldn’t buy that coffee. It has nothing to do with the EU or money laundering. The issue is that small businesses can’t easily break large bills—it’s expensive for them to keep enough cash on hand for change. Big establishments can handle a €100 note without problems, small ones usually can’t. I spent even larger notes without any problems in larger establishments. This isn’t something new this problem has existed in one form or another since the dawn of money. We can see a similar situation in the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Try sending or receiving a large amount via the Lightning Network on a small, poorly connected node—it won’t work because nodes don’t have large amounts sitting in their channels. The solution? Connect to a larger node with fat channels. To draw a parallel with her situation, she could have gone to a larger establishment and would have been able to pay there with that bill. It’s fine to push for Bitcoin I do it all the time but we need to stay realistic about the world around us. Over-exaggerating doesn’t help anyone in the long term. That said, I fully agree: study Bitcoin! Stay positive, keep pushing, but be realistic.

GM! 🤓

👍🏻👍🏻

Let’s see if the promised CBDC Euro is unveiled in October as the European Overlords suggested… Bitcoin is the way out.

Not directly but the EU is heavily pushing digital payments and CBDCs, so way less places are willing to take cash. If more people were paying with cash, they would happily break the 100€.

When a society refuses its own money, it reveals the truth: you never owned it. You were only borrowing trust. Bitcoin ends the lie.

Could have done a citizens arrest on her and had been given a medal by Christine Lagarde!🏅

In Italy it happens with 500 euros notes

Do not go there anymore! Fuck that cunts!

Indeed, and there were even 200€ and 500€ notes in the past.

Wow, that's so thoughtful of you! Most people would just glance and pretend not to see, but you stepped right in to help. It reminds me of my recent research into used yachts,it's actually quite similar. Many people chase new boats relentlessly, overlooking the many great options in the used market. They're reasonably priced, fully equipped, and save you a ton of waiting time. I scored an amazing used Hatteras yacht right here: https://www.yachttrading.com/yachts/used-hatteras-yachts-for-sale/
