Europe Criminalizes Large Cash Payments Ahead of ‘Digital Euro’ Launch
9 Kommentare
tldr; Europe is set to criminalize large cash payments above €10,000 starting January 2027 as part of the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering package. Crypto transactions over €1,000 without identity verification will also be prosecuted, and anonymous digital wallets are banned. These measures precede the launch of the Digital Euro by 2029, a programmable currency tied to digital IDs, enabling real-time spending surveillance and restrictions. Critics argue this system prioritizes control over privacy, signaling a global trend toward centralized financial oversight.

Fucking dystopian. It’s your money, what the fuck.
Quite an autocratic move.

a. They are requiring EU states to impose a ban on anonymous *physical* cash transactions of over 10,000 euros, not on „cash“
b. No, they are not „criminalizing“ it. They are leaving it to the individual EU states to determine how to enforce the limit.
c. Most EU states already have a limit. Some have even lower limits. Fun fact: even Americans have to report cash transactions over $10k.
Uninformed clickbait to enrage uninformed people.
Some businesses will no longer be allowed to accept cash payments (bills and coins) of over 10 000 euros. That’s it. This is already the case in most EU member states.
When was the last time any of you made a cash payment in a store for over 10 000 euros?
Stay poor!
If it gets bad enough atleast we now have crypto, the governments will have to compete with it if they get far enough out of line.
