No hard feelings of course but as noted I have been in your shoes in a sense and been overwhelmed with stuff to do and the last thing needed is someone making a complaint in a patronizing way. After you responded, I recognized that would have really ticked me off too when I was in the quote, unquote arena.
It's not the critic that counts and all. I am not trying to just be a critic. I want to offer constructive feedback and that wasn't a constructive way of doing things, especially in the saloon. I am not deleting the comment as I hope stackers will read through our whole entire interaction but I do regret the way I did it.
BTW my wife loved your meme. She laughed and said "try living with him". I think she was just being funny right, right? Haha
Government forcing the businesses to only use bitcoin through licensed providers - looks like EU wants to do just that. They won't ban bitcoin outright. Instead they'll say "in its infinite wisdom and mercy, the Crown allows the plebs to use that p2p thingy they're running around with, but of course not in any p2p manner. See, we're not stifling innovation!".
So the Crown will allow businesses to accept payments in bitcoin but only through a licensed serviced provider. Of course the users will be required to KYC. That is not an empty threat, already for example if you try to pay through BitPay it says "Verification Required: Due to European regulatory requirements, one-time customer verification is now required for all cryptocurrency payments".
And then you might send $1 to some protesters and suddenly you're locked out of BitPay and its ilk for some reason. And the merchants will shrug and tell you to use the CBDC instead or whatever. (Of course you'd be also locked out of CBDCs.)
