A bankster in the UK wants to ban big bills

[bitcoin-hunter]

The idea is good, big  transactions can be done easily by a bank transfer/creditcard. And so criminials need to do more effort.

However paying for smart television with 100 bills is not something we should want either.

Your argument is good but you make a thinking error. If a politician wants something (even it is not good for their civilians), it will be done.

Politics is no democracy these days, but egocentric maniacs paid by big firms.

They are already enacting laws to ban purchases with sums larger than 5000€ in cash.

This is not so that they can track mobsters, this is capital control and banker takeover.

The only reason they do this is so they know what civilians are doing. it's just a step closer to Big Brother, where everything we do is being monitored.

Forget it. I won't happen. People need to buy bigger wallets for simple purchases.

Some idiot politician looking for some attention, we are giving him..

When people are gonna understand that banning everything is not the best option to solve problems, and in fact encourage complete opposite actions almost every time.
Look what happened in US when alcohol were banned - total corruption, rise of mafia, look what is happening with drug business and illegal sex business now.

The banning  to prevent misuse is just wrong. When people become desperate they try to implement desperate measures.

This measure is just one of them. It will not prevent anything at all

The Scot's still have the £100 note.
But it's kind of puny compared to a Giant(£1 million) or a Titan(£100 million).
Check these notes out.

Let our governments keep their paper.  We have the good stuff and its only getting better.  The more small bills they take away from us the more valuable our hash will be....smile....they can't stop the cash flow by burning paper anymore because it would only strengthen the crypto-movement.  Let them them do it!!!!
