OP, your post is a mess.

  1. It's not "total monetary surveillance," it's limited to cryptocurrency and high (>$11,000) cash payments.
  2. You shouldn't encourage people to contact the EU before showing them what's actually happening
  3. Your Snort post doesn't work on my browser and it's a pretty bad social network anyway.

For people who are looking for actual info:

Or the source OP was using:

(ETA better info and links)

why would someone limit me how I can spend my earned and 40% already taxed (taken) money? I gave my life time to earn it, they take half of it and still forbidding me to use it?

Hiding money in anonymous crypto is a way to avoid paying taxes or launder money.

Trump made crypto trading cards so Russia and Saudi Arabia could contribute to him anonymously.

So if that is a problem, focus and investigate, why I have to do anything with that? And that is US, this is EU.
