Cashless Society and the End of Freedom

Contact Your Elected Officials

Cashless society seems like an inevitable progression into an easier, faster and more convenient future. But this comes at a huge of cost of privacy and anonymity of cash payments, and freedom from control over people’s funds.

Limiting cash payments and banning high-value bank notes is becoming a global trend. In France the cap on cash transactions is only 1,000 euros and in Italy itโ€™s at โ‚ฌ2,999.99. The European Central Bank has recently stopped issuing โ‚ฌ500-notes, although they will remain accepted as a legal tender indefinitely. Indiaโ€™s Prime Minister Modi banned the use of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes basically overnight. In Sweden, no high street bank in big cities handles cash anymore with 85% of the population banking online.
