Cyprus claims that they'll lift the controls in January 2014.  Any bets on that occurring then?  I know I would not bet on it!


Quote
“The controls are being lifted,” President Nicos Anastasiades told Bloomberg. “They will end within a timeframe of January 2014.”  A finance ministry spokesman sounded more cautious, noting that, while Cyprus was working towards lifting the restrictions “by early next year”, the control on the international movement of capital “might be the last to go”.

Eventually they are going to outright abolish cash. Make everything electronic and traceable by TPTB.

Sweden is poised to become the first cashless country:

They don't know that bitcoin will be the new "cash" Wink

I bet that when Sweden becomes totally "cashless" Bitcoin will become very popular there. It is an illusion that you can get rid of the black market by making paper money obsolete.

In this article with "cash" they mean: "fiat paper money cash". They fail to see (or mention) bitcoin is cash, too (albeit the url contains the words: "virtual cash"). They would probably categorize bitcoin as something other than cash.

Are the cash withdrawal limit waves already? If so, it's not that hard to get the cash out. If this is true I'd advise anyone to do this ....

Capital control is still enforced. ATM limits are the same. From personal account you cannot withdraw more than 300 EUR daily. 5000 EUR is maximum monthly allowance for transfers abroad.
Business accounts can transfer more but every wire to be approved by bank (and they often refuse).



sad. and others in europe will follow.  Roll Eyes

In Belgium cash payments above 3000 euro's are already forbidden.

In Spain is worse, you can pay only up to 2,500€

Can one not pay his taxes in cash?


In the Netherlands you cannot as far as I'm aware (bank account is mandatory).
True, and, we can't get more that I think 1K of the bank, we have to call and go trough a procedure to take more than 1K of our account, which I guess is for safety reasons but still dumb...

what do you mean with "cash payments"?? when you go to a car dealer for example you are not allowed to buy a 10.000 EUR car with cash??? i dont think someone can forbid this.

Its actually quite easy. They cant stop anybody from not accepting cash, but as soon as you want to turn it into the current universally accepted payment method at a bank you would run into problems.

Whether something is forbidden by law and whether a law can be enforced are two completely different things. Think of the smoking ban Wink

Interesting point ... cash has been abolished as legal tender by proxy ... I wonder if there will a test case in the courts some day that put these asinine cash maximum laws against the long standing legal tender statutes?
