Yes. 50€ is like 5% of my regular income.
It's a speculative attack on the Euro in essence.
Not agreeing with "speculative" since my decisions are based on reasoning (I would call trying to get lucky as "speculation"), but yes it's an attack.
I have more confidence in the bitcoin blockchain pumping out a block every 10 minutes than the Euro to keep existing in the next 5-10 years.

The current situation between north and south Europe. Increasing pressure from political parties to exit the EU (see Brexit). I don't want to say I don't like the EU. But there are definitely some problems with it.
If I'll lose my job I'll be fucked for a while until I found a new job
