Same here, I used to have this image in my head of a eccentric entrepreneur pushing technology to the max with ‘fuck you money’.
Sure he said some crazy shit sometimes, but it kind of felt like he didn’t have much of a filter.
Around the time of the Thai cave thing this started to change, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until that point.
After that, things just went down hill…
I can’t speak for all European countries, but at least in the Netherlands they’re not a thing. We might still have money orders, which are similar, but I’ve never seen one used.
Instead we can just make instant bank transfers, even using a QR code, which you can generate in your own banking app and can be used with any other bank.
