Yo dudes, today 13 March 2019, the game continues.

Switzerland is ready for the next generation of the the 1000-franc bank note!

I will go to the National Bank at 8 AM to get the first 100 1000-franc notes of the new series

Cash is freedom and privacy. When cash is gone, they have us by the balls.

Swiss are one of the few based societies that refuse to eliminate larger bills from existence, only a few years ago technocrats from all over the globe were putting the pressure on them. Keep in mind the game is to ban cash, larger bills first of course, so every financial transaction can be documented and taxed. Most of Europe is moving that direction already, most notably sweden which is dangerously close to being cashless. The common thread is that money, especially larger bills, needs to be banned to prevent money laundering and terrorism:

Quote:One of the world’s biggest banknotes – Switzerland’s SFr1,000 bill – is here to stay, the central bank has said, despite European Union moves to end its highest denomination note to keep it out of the hands of militants.

European finance ministers last week called on the European Central Bank to look at ways of tightening security around the use of the €500 bill, over fears such a high-value note made it easier for terrorists and criminals to both launder and carry cash.

But the Swiss National Bank (SNB) said there were no plans to follow Europe’s lead over its SFr1,000 bill, worth more than £700 or $1,014. The biggest US denomination note is the $100 bill.

The spokesman said the bank believed that the size of a banknote had no impact on efforts to combat crime.

Those who meet any of the elites know that this is openly part of the agenda. They're selling it as "stopping terrorism" when the real goal is taxation and the ability to control dissidents.

I heard about the Visa earlier.

My first thought was that the EU loves what the UK did with Michael Savage and any right-leaning commentator will find themselves "shadowbanned" from Europe. Your Visa will mysteriously be denied and somehow nobody will ever be able to figure out exactly why or even deign to give you a reason why.

The whole economy of swizerland is based on allowing criminals to launder their cash there, what did anyone expect ?

No, it is about creating a somewhat safe space for financial freedom. That everybody brings money there is only because everywhere else is so incredibly hostile to freedom.

Actually, it used to be like that. But then with the introduction of FATCA and CRS, there is no longer secrecy. The banking secret these days only exists for domestic persons.

I have always thought that a cashless society would be against freedom
But this is really narrow thinking . Working in places like Ukraine and Albania with the "locals" ; banning cash would be beneficial to these countries . It would eliminate most of the criminals . Same for bitcoin .
In Albania I have seen numerous times people giving huge chunks of 500 euro cash to the currency exchange without being even asked a passport. All this money comes from.the outside and from drug trafficking . Banning cash would help honest people to have better social ranking in the society

I know you're 'taking the piss' with your comment above (as we say in Ireland) but on a more serious level, as someone working in Finance in CH, is there a lot of corruption and laundering going on?
I have a good few friends in CH (one who is somewhat involved with the Finance industry)

Criminals would prosper because a black market they could control would spring up. Instead of criminals you'll have innocent people mixed up with them too.

Look, a kilogram bar of gold is roughly the size of a smartphone and trades for roughly 50,000 USD. And bitcoin isn't going anywhere. Cash bans are going to mostly hurt what you are referring to as the "honest" folk.

What we have here is a failure to separate morality and ethics, very common in people schooled in socialisms whether of the Soviet or Rooseveltian types along with some general disapproval of the free people socialism likes to pathologize as "anti-social" or "criminal."

If you want to attack the drug problem you attack the drug problem. You have to oppress the users. If you don't attack the drug problem by oppressing the users, there is going to be money on the table and some people are always going to be in a position where the right choice for them is market making in drugs. Thusly you gotta kill the market.

If you attack instead people moving money across borders, you catch all sorts of people who aren't in the drug game. You end up oppressing smarter people with money who see their country going to shit and want to get out before they would be classed as refugees, exactly the sort of people that add value when they land in a new country.

But no. Instead the kind of people who merit freedom get oppressed because there's less of them, because the masses derp about "Drugs are bad 'Mkay" without allowing the drug users to be oppressed the point there's no demand side to be buying drugs. If you don't want drugs you gotta violently oppress the users. If you don't have the spine for that, the people doing drugs are like the people running distilleries or McBeetus. This is a plainly immoral situation and a serious driving factor in why the world is going to shit.

The same logic of banning cash because Criminals use it applies to Cars - Yes your Car - because all of you "Criminals" (Free Thinking Red Pill Men) can use cars as getaway vehicles to get away from your pump and dumps which is also soon to be a Sex Crime as Blue Pill White Knight anti-white male mentality pervades the Earth. How dare you Horn Dawg Males inveigle Bishes with random RomFinSub promises but only do hit and run Pump and Dumps without Manning Up and supporting them for the rest of your life on earth. [Bishes running off to their Safe Spaces Case workers here].

As the G-20 fiat currencies crash under their increasingly Mountainous Volume due to unlimited "printing" and the west converts to all plastic cards all the time or worse Phone Pay models in phones that are incredibly vulnerable to state APT Advanced Persistent Threat hackers and that can easily be turned off and electronic money confiscated when your Pro Hillary Pro Women CCP based Social Justice PC score falls below AOC/Beto/Bernie/Lizahontas approved minimums and you are electronically expunged from society in a vicious manner that makes the Communist Chinese Social Credit Score look humanitarian by example.

The Swiss Franc has a mad habit of going up in value against the Dollar such that 1000 1K Swiss Franc notes will rise dramatically when the Martin Armstrong, Peter Schiff, Greg Hunter Dollar Currency reset occurs you may be able to live well on a handful of these 1K Swiss Franc notes per year when their value escalates against the US/Oz/Can Dollars... Swiss Francs, Commodities Currencies, Physical Gold and Silver and Bitcoin/Monero/Litecoin are the best SHTF Backup Plan that most of us can have.

Corruption is not the problem, the whole system is made to attract capital from outside, so a certain degree of arrangement between friends or looking the other way is implied, and this is normal.

However the problem is that the whole country belongs to the banks (or derivates thereof).
People will tell you they bought a house, but it's a lie.
They will tell you about the new lambo they bought, also a lie.
This is what most people will not tell you about, most of them were trained to not even understand it anymore.

But no, I didn't see any corruption - didn't work in finance for long though, so who knows.
However like I said, it was made to be pretty much unnecessary anyway.

Oh, and a cash-free society is bad, of course.

I don't get you. Which black market ? If you cannot pay a coffee with cash , all transactions will be checked from the bank. Noone could cash in 10k euro just like this (assuming the people checking the bank transactions are not corrupt themselves which is not easy )

I agree with what you are saying about ethics and morals.
But if someone deals drugs at high level (and even at low level) and gets cash from Italy , Greece or Switzerland. He brings it back home in Albania because it s very easy to pass the borders (you just need to have your cousin and your best friend at the border station) , if cash is banned in Albania , what can he do ? He cannot spend his money . He cannot deposit the money to the bank.
It will force high level people to create companies in a sophisticated way (another type of cheating) but woudl eliminate 90% of the problem
