 As a regular visitor of the Dutch central bank these days, you can’t miss some of the small details. On the counter at the entrance you can always find plastic bags with shredded paper bills. 
There used to be a text on it which translates as follows. “Money doesn't make you happy, but luckily we make money!” The new plastic bags I picked up yesterday don’t have any text on them anymore… 👀
Now what was interesting is that the largest news agency NOS (which is 100% owned by the Dutch government) published the following article. https://nos.nl/l/2544097. At that exact moment I was gifting the board of DNB bitcoin socks with a SeedQR and 24word paper wrapped in the following mainstream newspaper article: https://archive.is/U9Ykx. This article stated that everyone needs to have cash euros in a sock at home. Cyber attacks could impact the financial system for longer periods of time and people should prepare. I explained that it’s important to use the parellel bitcoin rails. Because that’s the most robust financial network on our planet. I don’t advise to put naked keys in a sock at home btw.
