    OP, your post is a mess.

    1. It’s not “total monetary surveillance,” it’s limited to cryptocurrency and high (>$11,000) cash payments.
    2. You shouldn’t encourage people to contact the EU before showing them what’s actually happening
    3. Your Snort post doesn’t work on my browser and it’s a pretty bad social network anyway.

    For people who are looking for actual info:

    Or the source OP was using:

    (ETA better info and links)

      why would someone limit me how I can spend my earned and 40% already taxed (taken) money? I gave my life time to earn it, they take half of it and still forbidding me to use it?

        Hiding money in anonymous crypto is a way to avoid paying taxes or launder money.

        Trump made crypto trading cards so Russia and Saudi Arabia could contribute to him anonymously.

          So if that is a problem, focus and investigate, why I have to do anything with that? And that is US, this is EU.
