Man I am on your side. I love privacy and security. I can't stand "for the kids" rhetoric. I wouldn't be using Lemmy otherwise. But The limit to 5k€ per transaction is really useful, has already damaged mafia, and prevents big chunks of money to go untraced, leaving room for privacy for regular people. In an ideal world I would be against such action, but I do believe this is the best thing to do when 10% of your GDP is produced illegally.
I also want to apologize for my previous message which could have been interpreted as passive aggressive, it was not intended as such.
