Don't ignore with the unprecedented numbers of migrants flooding into the EU due to the idiotic wars that EU states are enabling all over the world. What is painfully clear from this thread is that if this list is representative of the wider market in Germany then a large number of you folks over there are not feeling the heat like the rest of Europe. You might consider it to be because of careful planning and German resoluteness but other people in other parts of Europe see a massive imbalance tilted in favour of Germany and Banksters rigging the system to your advantage. It's highly likely that if the Grexit happens they will bypass the conventional monetary system and go for a crypto currency. A comparison is a bit like moving away from coal/nuclear to a distributed solar and wind energy infrastructure. If that comes to pass there will be a major crises of confidence in normal currencies and the Banksters won't be able to control the flow of cash/resources to the same degree they do now. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
