Lovely app, however if you are on iOS, you're out of luck, cuz they are only on "TestFlight" and all 10000 beta tester slots are full.
Another reason to praise the Google-free android.
What awoke me from my dogmatic slumber was #bitcoin, but soon after I discovered #monero and realized it implements the ideas of p2p cash better.

These are the options you always have.
In regards to Germany and the broader EU, I decided to leave it. There is nothing left for me here. A husk of former innovation and philosophy. The hollow oak tree depicted in atlas shrugged.

Decent show and all, but the way pied piper harps on their proprietary algo and "intellectual property" - makes me angry. Intellectual property is the bane of technology. It hampers innovation and harms the consumers. All their talk of "making the world a better place" bla bla. Just open source and let disruption happen.
