Bitcoin only, no more fiat for me.
Just hit the point where I can't use fiat anymore.
Almost a year ago I told someone I draw the line with using banks when they force me to use facial recognition or fingerprints to use my "own money". I take what I say seriously and always do what I say.
Today is that day. Two or three months ago, they started with fingerprint / facial recognition on the banking app but I could still disable it. As if today I can only make fiat payments if I do facial recognition. And I'm not willing to compromise.
I don't really keep much fiat in my bank anyway, basically just for what I have to do at the moment. I knew this moment would come. I used a scan to pay method to bypass the facial recognition for now to pay for the meat I ordered locally.
My fiat banking account is now empty and it will stay that way.
As of today I am Bitcoin only and if I can't pay for something with my sats, I'll have to DIY it!
Wish me luck!
