The massive power outage that hit Spain and Portugal revealed a significant flaw in the idea of a digital euro. With phone and internet signals down, people faced a major problem: card machines failed, and ATMs went offline. Those with cash were fine, but many others relying on digital payments found themselves in a bind. My wife, Maddie, was in Madrid during the blackout and experienced this first-hand. She had €15 in her wallet, no internet, and couldn't access her flight or transport options.

While the European Central Bank claims the digital euro will support offline payments for privacy, the blackout demonstrated how it would fail if devices can't function due to a lack of electricity. Spain's increasing crackdown on cash—limiting large cash transactions—also highlights the issue. A central bank digital currency (CBDC) might have exacerbated the situation, especially as a recent poll shows only 45% of people would be willing to use it.

This blackout may have dealt a significant blow to the digital euro’s future, rekindling people’s appreciation for cash, which had declined during the pandemic. It also raises concerns for crypto and fintech firms, as stablecoins would face the same risks during power outages. Bitcoin, however, remains largely unaffected by such events due to its role as a store of value.

With power restored in Madrid, consumers are likely reconsidering their preferences for cash and questioning the push for a digital euro.

💼 Buffett’s Move Was Calculated, Not Luck

Warren Buffett didn’t “sell everything.”

But Berkshire Hathaway stacked a record $325.2 billion in cash by Q3 2024.

How? He quietly sold off massive amounts of stocks, including half of Apple and major cuts to Bank of America.

In Q2 2024 alone? He unloaded $75 billion in equities. 🏦

📊 Why The Shift to Cash?

Buffett isn’t guessing the exact day of a market crash.

He’s responding to signals.

The Buffett Indicator (market cap to GDP) hit 210% in 2024 — a level Buffett once called "playing with fire."

When valuations look stretched and opportunities are scarce, he waits. 🕵️‍♂️

💸 Buffett’s Strategy Pays Off

As markets tumbled in early 2025 — due to Trump’s new tariffs — Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway stock rose 16% YTD.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 dropped 2%, and Bitcoin, tech, and growth stocks got crushed.

Why? Buffett was holding dry powder, not chasing trends.

🧠 What’s the Secret?

No insider info.

No magic crystal ball.

Buffett plays the long game, sticks to value, and doesn’t chase hype.

When markets fly too high, he quietly exits while everyone else is still celebrating.

💬 In His Own Words

“Opportunities come in chaos.” And when chaos hits, he’s holding the cash — not the bag.

👉 The Buffett Playbook:

1. Ignore the hype.

2. Wait for the chaos.

3. Hold cash for opportunities.
