With bank runs and related negative trends on the rise. "Cash is king" sounds like a great policy to me. Certainly this is the wave of the future. Only bitcoin beats cash.
Meloni probably doesn't share your ideals
"The only legal currency in Italy and Europe is the paper notes issued by the European Central Bank."
The way I see it, in her eyes bitcoin must be electronic money, along with stable coins and CBDCs. She thinks all of it is illegal, although we could use more clarification.
I don't like this debate over legal vs illegal. One day she starts telling us that electronic payments that are legal around the world are illegal, the next she'll come up with something else that you cannot do that is allowed in all other countries. The US politicians also like to call things Illegal all the time, especially when it comes to gun laws. Large magazine, or having a forward grip can be illegal depending on a state. Like that has something to do with lethality, or gun violence...
