A single ounce of gold, 31 grams will be 10k euros in 2027

Total reveal of a totalitarian revelation. "One of the great ironies of how democracies die is that the very defence of democracy is often used as pretext of its subversion" - Levitsky/Ziblatt.

The question is, “Why now?” Why is the EU now creating essentially a monetary Berlin Wall, trapping its citizens inside? These are not the actions of a self-confident, prosperous nation. These actions, and I could be wrong, are reminiscent of a private equity fund limiting withdrawals as their investments didn’t pan out. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of capital and EU residents relocate to more favorable locations. EU citizens having to leave to protect their financial freedom? How times have changed...

I think the French have had a fairly adequate strategy for dealing with this sort of political overreach for a number of centuries now. You should all probably take advantage of it.

Accept for the rich elite; they will continue to be able to transfer as much as they like.

It’s ‘always for your safety’. Which is really code for, we are taking away your rights so there is more for us and less for you.

Absolutely… while the elite benefactors move their money around in hedge funds to and from the Caribbean without oversight!! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Countries in EU shouldn’t accept this and ask their own people through referendums. F EU!!!

Yes...this is really creepy BUT fortunately the limit applies to professional transactions (e.g., buying from a business). Personal, non-professional transactions between private individuals (like selling a used car to a friend) are exempt.

It's too late. You have surrendered your freedoms to the EU and the ECB Q-Tip in charge has ruled.

Who the hell would pay such an amount in cash? I don't mind it at all. Most ordinary people pay everything electronically, so their digital ID has been shared for years already, and nobody cares.

spooky shit, but what can be done about it ?

Anti-freedom! Oppressive EU needs to breakup. UK reettards broke from the EU with their pound denomination, and then the biggest hypocrites of all becoming the biggest importer of immigrants by joining the EU Migration Act. You can't fix stupid! Help me make it make sense.

I live in Italy and am buying everything with cash. I am also boycotting the self service tills. #NOtodigitalID.

Escaping the EUs future insanities was as important if not more important a reason for Brexit as escaping the EUs existing insanities.

Banks are the largest money launderers ever, especially the investment and clearing banks.

pointless... it doesn't apply to *government transactions. the elite and grifters sidestep it and the common folk don't have that level of funds to play with....

governments will still transfer public wealth to private hands via funding large scale conflicts or privatizing state assets and think nothing of it though, you watch

So if I want to buy a MacBook I need to verify myself and the gov can assign my id to the MacBook Mac address

Not sure how buying a second hand car from a private owner would work if there's a 3k limit without 'digital ID' ... but perhaps that's all part of the plan

The UK has had a £7,500 limit for many years now

dont forget your id in 2028 for buying bread at the bakery.

Good job we're no longer in the EU.... Oh wait

The black market will boom.

It’s not exactly “from January 2027” but July 2027 is the standard date for many provisions. Some national transpositions or earlier obligations may vary. If you pay another private individual for something national laws treat “private to private” differently.

I am not surprised at all. Funny thins is that the communism and totalitarianism is winning in EU after so many years of fighting it. Looks like, just like in USSR, it was always under to ruling of the Communist Party ;)

The only people allowed to launder money are our politicians, unfortunately

I will now pay all my small payments in cash. If everyone does that, they will inevitably back down. I will never consent and will simply say no. Everyone stands to gain — both customers and shopkeepers, who themselves pay a commission on every card transaction.

Everybody with common sense -Draghi's 2024 report; Garicano-Holstrom-Petit's Nov 2025 paper- call for less rules in the EU. ECB wants to hide the system's incapacity to combat crime at the expense of legitimate operations. All behind bars= the medicine is worse than the disease!
