Haven't we already lost "unhosted email"?

Not really, just unreasonable market share due to compliance checkmarks (that, for Azure, turned out to be meaningless and leaky af.)

I think the EU actually has a much stronger cash economy

Germany, yes, but that is the exception more than the rule throughout the EU. I haven't been in the US for a year now, but I'd say it's only a little less than in Germany. How do you tip the bell boy nowadays? Cashapp?

So, "unhosted money" also seems to be on its way out (if it weren't for Bitcoin).

That's why they wrote a stupid report about unhosted wallets. It goes against zhe totalitarian goal of zhe bugz.

It's pretty weird how much tipping has moved to credit cards and payment apps. I'm sure you can tip your bellboy on your final bill (although I suspect such a thing breaks the whole point of tipping -- but the US is so whacked out on tipping these days that I'm not surprised).

I keep finding new places that refuse to accept cash here. Most recently, I was at a coffee shop that was only credit cards because of the penny shortage.

Europeans said that in the 70s and 80s 😭😂

In TX? City, suburb or styx?

Mostly city. Some suburb. Haven't spent much time in the boonies lately, but I assume they are more cash friendly.

I think that's the trend globally, cities go cashless, rural areas resist
