Blik is convenient for making transactions through phone calls. Stores have payment terminals that accept blik codes, I just shared the code to the cashier while ordering flowers from abroad and accepted the transactions in my bank app on my phone.

No one can deny EU funds have helped, but putting credits only there is pure misinformation. Take a look at what part of GDP are EU funds and what is the size per capita. Hard work and open market were actually the biggest contributors to the development of Poland.

Germany benefits a lot from the open market. If only countries introduced a rule to export only the excess of the energy then Germany would be cooked, because prices would sky rocket for them, not 2x, 3x, but way more. Luckily for them they can make strategical mistakes and go away with it making others to pay for that.

How's mining BTC compared to energy spent on heating? I heard about using the heat excess from mining to heat houses. Could one say this is ecological? For sure better than an electrical heater which doesn't do any other work than throwing the energy into air.
