The introduction of the revelatory "mark of the beast". No one will be able to [legally] buy or sell without it. I suspect anyone that tries to barter or trade outside of the system will be considered and labeled a criminal for operating in black markets or tax evasion.
- johnchristopher 10y agoOh but I have heard people claiming the contrary: that banks are actually using a number for transaction and it has 666 embedded into it.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agookay, if you believe stuff like that, it's hard to take you seriously. 666, the devil, he's there in your transaction? I remember when conservatives didn't like that unix has daemons. That was not particuarly a useful concern.

Though supposedly in reference to [this guy](https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/innovation-centers/san-francisco/the-inside-edge/innovators/mark-nelsen.html https://usa.visa.com/visa-everywhere/innovation-centers/san-...).

- icebraining 10y agoMultiple European countries already forbid cash payments over a few thousands euros. In my country the law is just being proposed: anything over 3000€ must be done using electronic systems (read: banks) or you risk getting a fine equivalent to 25% of the amount over the limit.
- joshontheweb 10y agoWhat is the reasoning behind this?
- Calcite 10y agoLikely anti money laundering legislation.
- icebraining 10y agoYes, and also tax evasion and fraud.

- ksec 10y agoAm I the only one who find this.. upsetting? It basically means Government will know every money you have owed and spent.
