I wonder how far into the future the EU will ban paying with cash.
- bdjsiqoocwk 3y agoZero chance of happening.
- t0bia_s 3y agoImpossible to happening. You cannot force people to have device and internet to make transaction. How would you give money to homeless or pay if you out of signal?
- goalieca 3y agoTraceable digital cash with cards.
- moate 3y agoI mean, they already did with this law, it’s just a “high” threshold of 10k. Get a few high profile instances of the law on the books “not being enough for current law enforcement to be able to do its job” and public indifference might allow you to go whole hog (or at least such a low threshold as to cover 95%+ of transactions). Of course this is a slippery slope fallacy, but I have so little confidence in the surveillance state not to behave this way that thinking otherwise feels a bit pollyanna to me, but ymmv.
