Their agenda may be on the rocks in the United States
at the moment, but that doesn't mean that the globalists are giving up. In fact, a major push toward a cashless society is being made in the European Union right now. Last May we learned that the 500 euro note
is being completely eliminated, and just a few weeks ago the European Commission released a new "
Action Plan" which instructs member states to explore "potential upper limits to cash payments". In the name of "fighting terrorism", this "Action Plan" discusses the benefits of "prohibitions for cash payments above a specific threshold" and it says that those prohibitions should include "virtual currencies (such as BitCoin) and prepaid instruments (such as pre-paid credit cards) when they are used anonymously."
This new document does not mention what an appropriate threshold would be for member states, but we do know that Spain already bans certain cash transactions above 2,500 euros, and Italy and France already ban cash transactions above 1,000 euros.
This is a perfect way to transition to a cashless society without creating too much of an uproar. By setting a maximum legal level for cash transactions and slowly lowering it, in effect you can slowly but surely phase cash out without people understanding what is happening.And there are many places in Europe where it is very difficult to even use cash at this point. In
Sweden, many banks no longer take or give out cash, and approximately 95 percent of all retail transactions are entirely cashless. So even though Sweden has not officially banned cash, using cash is no longer practical in most situations. In fact, many tourists are shocked to find out that they cannot even pay bus fare with cash.
