It's not unreasonable to assume you live in a normal part of the world where having money doesn't mean you get murdered.
- dzhiurgis 7y agoI've once went to a strip club in Hawaii. Stripper just grab a 1 dollar note and cleaned the strip pole with it. US dollars are one of the most yucky currencies. First you have 1 dollar note that is pointless at this economy. Then, they are still made of paper. Finally, amount of cash in use is astonishing. From my XP NZ is 99.99% cashless, while Lithuania about 95% (I don't carry any cash tho and ignore business that don't accept cards - they usually are not paying tax). Also wanted to reiterate how amazingly convenient digital banking has become in EU. I've signed up for Monese - in about 5 minutes of digital verification I've got IBAN account setup and a debit card sent to my home address. That's longer than I had to wait on a phone to get by traditional bank account reactivated.
