So, Europe limiting people's freedom, even more. Why am I not surprised? Use Monero and build the circular economy. Give the middle finger to these clowns. People in the US need to do the same thing because we are headed down the same path. That's why I always suggest if you have Monero not turning it back into Fiat ever.
This is the proper response when faced with institutions that obviously despise freedom, and which are full of people who hope to stomp the flame of your individual sovereignty out.
Banning the use of ridiculously large cash payments doesn't seem too bad imo.
Honestly who (except criminals) regularly use large amounts of cash and especially in one purchase?
In my country some of the huge luxury stores "had" (due to public pressure) to ban cash because the only ones that are buying luxury products using cash are criminals.
@lud@helenslunch Just because most idiots only use cards these days, it doesn't mean that only criminals use large amounts of cash.
I only use cash, to prevent the CBDC scams from ever implementing. I also use large amounts. Need to pay rent, buy a car, borrow money to family and friends etc
It seems to me that the EU is aiming for full control over the movement of money by introducing restrictions where no payment of 1-2k euros will go unnoticed.
That's why I believe the future belongs to cryptocurrencies, especially those that support transaction anonymity.
We are building a VPN service which collects zero personal data and only accepts crypto, Monero specifically. If anyone would like to try it out and help us improve the project it would be very much appreciated!
