That's speculative though isn't it? The rules could be better outside of the EU if equivalence is used (and judged from statements this week) and the EU standards would simply be the baseline. The EU hasn't been a panacea thu

For the theory to hold though, everything needs to go down in dollars. That's the point. If Bitcoin is the only thing going up there are no deflationary or inflationary forces at work.

The advise about 'destroying' watches you have is a bit odd too. Why not just return them or remove the listening in capability with a firmware update?
