    Checks and credit The US hasn't been backed by hard currency since the mid-60s. Once we moved off the gold standard, it all became Fiat based on exchange rates

        So you don't actually understand what the phrase "cash is king" really means.

          A paper check is not cash. A credit score is not cash. Physical backed up currency in your hand is cash. And I don't think you can get cash anymore. Only Fiat

                the fee might be higher at some points but you're just blabbering. check mempool.space and actually look at what fees are at rn + consider that there are many chains and l2s that can be used for payment. B)

                      I'm in Germany and people believe this. I say, if I have my credit card stolen, I can stop the card with my bank app and be refunded for the purchases the thief made.

                      If they have their 500€ of cash stolen, that's it. It's gone. No amount of crying about how cash is king will bring it back.

                                      A dollar in fees is a dollar more than with fiat for the person paying. That and do you expect enough normal people to learn about L2s and chains to make it worthwhile for Valve or whoever to implement support for anything besides the main chains of 2-3 major cryptos and stablecoins on ethereum main?

                                        You are only considering half the issue. If you manage to "aquire" 500 in cash...

                                          I seem to have gotten the beginning of the process and the final cutoff date. Confused. That would be the cutoff date, not when they started to restrict the ability to convert
