Mia Liponi

Mia Liponi appears in This Swiss city wants to become the bitcoin capital of Europe as the person running the [[LuganoPlanB|Plan B]] hub in Lugano. Her role is to make the city’s Bitcoin experiment concrete: she says she tried living on Bitcoin alone for 11 days and found it possible, but not frictionless.

Liponi’s account grounds Crypto Payment Practicality Gap. The episode says groceries, deliveries, many medical places, parking fines, taxes, and other municipal services can be paid for with Bitcoin, while public transportation, fuel, bills, dentists, and some medical services remain difficult. That makes her testimony more useful as an adoption boundary than as a broad claim that Bitcoin has become ordinary money everywhere.
