It's so weird that in Europe, you can use your bank account and cards and shit,
00:05
<
elliottcable >
but only cash in the U.S.
00:05
<
elliottcable >
Do they trust us less? Or are European debit cards somehow non-refundable enough to be traded for bitcoin?
00:06
<
alexgordon >
elliottcable: single market
00:06
<
alexgordon >
the US is one country, the EU is many countries with free trade between them
00:06

that necessitates easy money transfer
