Slowly we are becoming surveiled as China under guise of safety and child pornography…
Everything you do with your money above a certain amount should be tracked.
It’s the best for everyone!
/s
The amount of grey money will only skyrocket after that
What a horrible, horrible idea!
Greece and shit money moves name a more iconic duo.
They are doing it BEFORE digital euro, I thought that cash would be banned AFTER rolling out digital euro.
I don’t think this is going to solve the problem it’s trying to solve. When the politicians are corrupt and the judges are corrupt, this only impacts the average person. I very rarely use cash so I’m not opposed to this type of measure, but the one law for me and not for thee really bothers me.
Trying to curb tax evasion but the 1% can have all their tax breaks 😃
Kind of a misleading title. This has been the case in Greece since 2024. They are now simply changing the way they track transactions since up until now you could split a legal receipt in „parts“ of under 500€ despite executing the entire transaction of over 500€ in cash so each receipt complies with the „under 500€“ limit.
The only thing changing now is that you can’t do that anymore.
Cant do that with crypto
In the past 10 years I have done maybe 2000€ total of cash payments, nowadays it is very rare for a place not to take card. In day to day life I never carry cash and pay with my phone in 99% of cases.
it’s laws like this that make me grateful for Bitcoin
*“The legislation also introduces tougher penalties for those who fail to comply with the cash payment limit.“*
*“Under the new rules, authorities will impose a fine equal to twice the amount paid in cash. In practice, offenders would face a financial penalty that doubles the value of the unlawful cash payment.“*
*“Therefore, the government expects the measure to act as a strong deterrent and encourage broader use of electronic payment methods across the economy.“*
I understand the purpose behind the proposed law, but I still find it mind blowing that people will be penalized for using cash.
Can you freely deposit cash into your bank account in Greece?
I really dislike “articles” like this. Provide context, additional information. Did anything change after this was introduced in 2024? What’s the impact so far?
Without all of this info it feels as though someone wants to lead me to believe something they want.
Hah, you have to register for the Internet and you’re not allowed to use money, another European utopia
Kind reminder Greece (and Cypus) stole bank deposits some years ago.
What about their politicians, and their offshore bank accounts?
Let me guess, it’s somehow to “protect the kids” /s or some similar bullshit authoritarian propaganda
