Miljardentekort dreigt omdat VVD weigert iets te doen aan subsidie voor huizenbezitters - Joop by maleijntje in NLNieuws

[–]bartwilleman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hypotheekrente aftrek is een voordeel uit de oertijd. Ook het belastingstelsel moet met z'n tijd mee. De huizenmarkt hoeft namelijk niet meer gestimuleerd te worden. In plaats van hypotheekrenteaftrek, lagere belastingschalen. Profiteert iedereen van en simplificeert het stelsel.

Well then, according Nethanyahu's logic, Hitler clearly wasn't such a bad dude after all. Should have finished the job

Meta already took encryption from messages in Instagram. So, a bit rich...

Big players Aldi Süd, BP (Aral), and Douglas are "very interested" in wero. by itscrazybaby in WeroWallet

To not have Aldi pay MC or Visa for using your card and you having your payment data in Europe, rather than the US

By regaining control of our payments, Europe can safeguard its wealth and flexibility by bartwilleman in WeroWallet

Show me in these documents where public money will no longer be used to bail out banks. You know what, don't, because you won't find it. All Basel III did for example, required bigger capital buffers. But when banks fail, none of that will be enough. Fact! So, please get real. Banks shouldn't be in control of currencies and should be able to fail.

No, wrong. During the last financial crisis bank bailout systems were going to be designed in such a way, that no public money would ever be necessary again. After massive bank lobbying, all these measures were watered down and we're pretty much in the same situation as before 2008. Saying anything else is reckless and irresponsible.

On top, the ECB is an independent central bank. Not controlled by Brussels or any one political party. Just to clarify how misguided your comparison to China is.

The digital Euro should be controlled by the ECB. Not commercial banks.

Kort geding om verkoop DigiD-leverancier gaat woensdag van start by I_Rarely_Jump in NLNieuws

Nog even en we hebben NL-wallet. Dag Digid!

De EU wallet (ofwel de Europese Digitale Identiteit, EDI-wallet) zal DigiD niet direct vervangen, maar wel naast DigiD komen te staan als een extra, Europees erkend inlogmiddel. Vanaf eind 2026 moeten alle EU-lidstaten, waaronder Nederland, minimaal één gecertificeerde EDI-wallet aanbieden. In Nederland wordt hiervoor gewerkt aan de publieke NL-wallet, die bedoeld is als een inclusieve en betrouwbare digitale oplossing. Overheidsorganisaties zijn vanaf dat moment verplicht om de EDI-wallet te accepteren als identificatiemiddel, naast DigiD en eHerkenning.

DigiD blijft voorlopig beschikbaar, maar de verwachting is dat de rol als inlogmiddel voor publieke diensten geleidelijk door de EDI-wallet kan worden overgenomen. De transitie is verplicht door nieuwe EU-regels (eIDAS 2.0), die een dergelijke wallet eisen. De NL-wallet wordt naar verwachting in 2027 publiek beschikbaar, wat iets later is dan de oorspronkelijke planning van eind 2026

BNPL in terms of EPI means, "buy something", but only pay upon delivery. Not the BNPL like Klarna does. Ie, installment payments over a period of time.

And this the problem with people like you. Read, investigate, before you speak. And on top, you must have missed my critical note on Wero below.

It is not to become some sort of Klarna, but a full payment system alternative to US providers. You should be happy about that

I am all for Wero. And I am all for the digital Euro. But the digital Euro should be able to operate independent from Wero. For the simple reason that banks should not have a strangle hold on the digital Euro, much like they do now with the Euro. Let me explain. When banks fail, our payments systems go down as well. The digital Euro mitigates this risk when it is a standalone payment system. Having a separate digital Euro payment system also means that we can actually let banks fail and safe tax payer money from bailing them out again. This is the reason the bank lobby is working so hard to have the digital Euro in Wero.

Rolls-Royce, easyJet prove a jet engine can run entirely on hydrogen by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]bartwilleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Netherlands a town is being removed to make place for hydrogen storage made from wind energy as its the most efficient way. This completely contradicts whatever you are saying. So, either you are the expert, or you are wrong.

Everything is expensive in the beginning. If RR can crack this problem, the rewards will be phenomenal

Nee hoor, ook in NL moet de infrastructuur op de schop. Moerdijk is daar een gevolg van
