CASH DIES IN 847 DAYS
Europe just legislated the end of financial freedom and nobody noticed.
January 2027: Every euro above €10,000 becomes illegal tender. Every Bitcoin needs government permission. Every transaction becomes a datapoint in Brussels’ surveillance grid.
This is not proposed. This is law.
340 million Europeans will wake up in a cage built from their own bank accounts.
THE KILL SHOT
The EU Anti-Money Laundering package doesn’t just track criminals. It treats every citizen as one. Starting 2027, buying a car in cash becomes a crime. Sending €1,001 in Bitcoin without state approval triggers prosecution. Anonymous wallets vanish overnight.
The Digital Euro arrives 2029. The European Central Bank spent €1.3 billion building what they call freedom. But leaked proposals cap holdings at €3,000 per person. Every purchase tracked. Every pattern analyzed. Every dissent potentially bankable.
THE LIE THEY’RE SELLING
“This stops money laundering.” Europe launders €500 billion yearly, they claim. So they’re building a panopticon for 340 million people to catch the fraction who commit crimes.
China’s digital yuan already programs money to expire, to restrict, to control. The ECB promises Europe will be different.
They promised deposit safety in Cyprus too. Then they seized accounts in 2013.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Privacy coins migrate to the shadows. Black markets replace grey ones. The state gains omniscience. You lose the right to buy bread without permission.
This isn’t about crime. It’s about power. €20 trillion flows through the eurozone. Every cent will soon require approval from Frankfurt.
The infrastructure of tyranny gets built in the name of safety. Always.
THE CLOCK IS RUNNING
847 days until your cash becomes contraband. 1,308 days until the Digital Euro launches. Zero days of mainstream coverage asking the only question that matters:
Who decides what you’re allowed to buy when money becomes permission?
The European Union just made Orwell an instruction manual.
And you heard it here first.
