RE: Team Europe’s Missing Mission (Report #2)
Thank you so much, Team Europe! :)
I have to say, this is one of the best reports I've seen on the chain so far! Kudos! (contrary to the copy-paste text with links and gazillion of rewards on some others, LOL)
Now, to be honest, I'd like to have people from the latter type commenting as with regards to the adopting of the EUR in Bulgaria, I had three persons engaging with me, all of them having negative sentiment on the topics. Funny enough, two of them I know live in EU... Go figure it out, LOL
So, I wish more people who simply enjoy my photographs :)))
Moreover, burning all the rewards (as far as I can tell)... wow. I think you should keep some for yourselves as well, as this takes time and then, your curation will be more powerful with time, right?
I did... 😉
Of course there are advantages and disadvantages. The economically weaker countries of the EU in particular are certainly not naive enough to believe that luck will fall from the sky. Perhaps it would be interesting to hear my opinion on this. I am one of the EU supporters who lives in the most economically powerful country in the Union. But I don't have the time or energy for such in-depth discussions at the moment. Just this much: even after more than 20 years, there are still many people here who would like to see the D-Mark back, who still convert EURO into D-Mark (nonsense!), who believe that we rich Germans are only there to foot the bill for others (e.g. the ‘rescue package’ for Greece). In my eyes, they are all people who have never learnt to define the term ‘community’. Just like on the Steem... 😁
Come on - we have the opportunity to do that often enough... 😎
There are multiple reasons for this, the explanation of which would go too far at this point. We are sure that a lot of ‘well-known users’ know some of them... 😏
Sure. But all three of us don't need that, because we have taken care of that ourselves over many years of constant PowerUps and monetary investments.

Big thanks! :)
Well, certainly there are profiteers everywhere, but here the society had been repressed for decades and probably still needs many years to learn to self-heal and remove the splinters asap... Our society isn't so united as those in Germany, France, even Greece. People here don't go out on the streets to strike so much...
For instance, as of August, all prices must be declared in both EUR and BGN, for an year, I think. Some already pumped the prices, as in August it may be a bit more obvious and some might be fined for that.
Guess what... people complain of facebook but still buy.
Another example - there were a few boycotts organized to the big food store chains like Kaufland and Lidl (those are the biggest in Bulgaria) as some of the items they sell were up to 100% more expensive compared to the prices in Germany.
The first boycott has some minor success - reported BGN 1M less turnover.
The next boycotts - guess again - in the days of the boycotts, the turnover of the chains was even bigger than normal as they were prepared and increased their "discount offers". I saw some people getting interviewed on TV, saying "why not buy, it is cheaper today".
So, people, society, communities here are ... so slow.
Another instance - the other day I saw on TV people from a small village go on strike and block a major road for few hours. The reason - they didn't have water supplied from November. That's more than 6 months, Gosh...
Long story short - the first months after adopting the EUR will be nightmare-ish...
However, I know for sure it is for the best in the long run, even for one single reason - local politicians and "businessmen" will have one tool less to play with and manipulate the market - the local currency :)))
