WAR ON CASH - GUERRA AL CONTANTE. ANCHE IN QUESTO CASO MERCATO LIBERO BATTERA' I GOVERNI COGLIONI
MERCATO LIBERO VI STA PARLANDO DI TASSI NEGATIVI E DI IMPLICAZIONI SULLA LIBERTA' DEL'INDIVIDUO ORAMAI DA MESI..E VI PROPONIAMO SOLUZIONI OPERATIVE SEMPLICI ED EFFICACI.
DAL WALL STREET JOURNAL
These are strange monetary times, with negative interest rates and central bankers deemed to be masters of the universe. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that politicians and central bankers are now waging a war on cash. That’s right, policy makers in Europe and the U.S. want to make it harder for the hoi polloi to hold actual currency.
POLITICANTI IN EUROPA E NEGLI STATI UNITI VOGLIONO ELIMINARE IL CONTANTE PER PERMETTERE INTERESSI NEGATIVI E PER PERMETTERE A LORO STESSI DI SOPRAVVIVERE NEI PALAZZI DELLA POLITICA.
Mario Draghi
fired the latest salvo on Monday when he said the European Central Bank
would like to ban €500 notes. A day later Harvard economist and
Democratic Party favorite Larry Summers declared that it’s time to kill
the $100 bill, which would mean goodbye to Ben Franklin. Alexander
Hamilton may soon—and shamefully—be replaced on the $10 bill, but at
least the 10-spots would exist for a while longer. Ol’ Ben would be
banished from the currency the way dead white males like him are banned
from the history books.
Limits on cash transactions have been spreading in Europe
since the 2008 financial panic, ostensibly to crack down on crime and
tax avoidance. Italy has made it illegal to pay cash for
anything worth more than €1,000 ($1,116), while France cut its limit to
€1,000 from €3,000 last year. British merchants accepting more than
€15,000 in cash per transaction must first register with the tax
authorities. Fines for violators can run into the thousands of euros.
Germany’s Deputy Finance Minister Michael Meister recently proposed a
€5,000 cap on cash transactions. Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan predicted last month that cash won’t survive another decade.
The enemies of cash claim that only crooks and cranks need large-denomination bills.
They want large transactions to be made electronically so government
can follow them. Yet these are some of the same European politicians who
blew a gasket when they learned that U.S. counterterrorist officials
were monitoring money through the Swift global system. Criminals will
find a way, large bills or not.
The real reason the war on cash is gearing up now is
political: Politicians and central bankers fear that holders of currency
could undermine their brave new monetary world of negative interest
rates. Japan and Europe are already deep into negative territory, and
U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen
said last week the U.S. should be prepared for the possibility.
Translation: That’s where the Fed is going in the next recession.
Negative rates are a tax on deposits with banks, with the goal of
prodding depositors to remove their cash and spend it to increase
economic demand. But that goal will be undermined if citizens
hoard cash. And hoarding cash is easier if you can take your deposits
out in large-denomination bills you can stick in a safe. It’s harder to keep cash if you can only hold small bills.
I TASSI NEGATIVI AI CITTADINI LI OBBLIGHERANNO A SPENDERE IL DENARO SUL CONTO..O A RITIRARLO E TENERLO SOTTO IL CUSCINO...MA SE TUTTI LO RITIRANO SI ARRIVA AL FALLIMENTO DEL SISTEMA.
QUINDI SI ARRIVERA' A UNA TASSA SUL PRELIEVO DEI CONTANTI, A UNA TASSA SUL VERSAMENTO DEI CONTANTI, A UNA TASSA SUI CONSUMI SE PAGHI IN CONTANTI..E ALL'ELIMINAZIONE DEL CONTANTE STESSO...
cosi' facendo i tassi negativi potranno essere introdotti..ma a quel punto la liberta' dell'uomo sara' ridotta a zero..ogni singolo pagamento potra' essere identificato da uno stato ingiusto, burocrate e ossessivo...IN PRATICA TUTTO SI FERMERA'....a meno di introdurre sulla BLOCKCHAIN dei EUROBIT che potrebbero sostituire in maniera pseudonima (quasi anonima) il contante...
So, presto, ban cash. This theme has been
pushed by the likes of Bank of England chief economist Andrew Haldane
and Harvard’s Kenneth Rogoff, who wrote in the Financial Times that
eliminating paper currency would be “by far the simplest” way to “get
around” the zero interest-rate bound “that has handcuffed central banks
since the financial crisis.” If the benighted peasants won’t spend on
their own, well, make it that much harder for them to save money even in
their own mattresses.
All of which ignores the virtues of cash for law-abiding citizens.
Cash allows legitimate transactions to be executed quickly, without
either party paying fees to a bank or credit-card processor. Cash also
lets millions of low-income people participate in the economy without
maintaining a bank account, the costs of which are mounting as post-2008
regulations drop the ax on fee-free retail banking. While there’s
always a risk of being mugged on the way to the store, digital
transactions are subject to hacking and computer theft.
ECCO PERCHE' SI STA GUARDANDO SEMPRE PIU' ALLA BLOCKCHAIN
Cash is also the currency of gray markets—amounting to 20% or
more of gross domestic product in some European countries—that
governments would love to tax. But the reason gray markets
exist is because high taxes and regulatory costs drive otherwise honest
businesses off the books. Politicians may want to think twice about
cracking down on the cash economy in a way that might destroy businesses
and add millions to the jobless rolls. The Italian economy might shut down without cash.
By all means people should be able to go cashless if they like. But it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the politicians want to bar cash as one more infringement on economic liberty. They
may go after the big bills now, but does anyone think they’d stop
there? Why wouldn’t they eventually ban all cash transactions much as
they banned gold and silver as mediums of exchange?
Beware politicians trying to limit the ways you can conduct private economic business. It never turns out well.

Da libertario rothbardiano convinto, un simile scenario è più che auspicabile.
In un simile contesto scoccherebbe finalmente la scintilla per una rivoluzione liberale, spazzando via ogni socialistume da questo paesaccio.
Sarebbe, però, un'assunzione di responsabilità troppo grande per qualsiasi governo e pure per l'UE. No, temo che accadrà qualcosa di più subdolo e meno repentino, cercando di scaricare ancora una volta le responsabilità statali sul libero mercato.
Saluti
