its total bullshit. you would have to have bilions of it to make difference of it.

so the reason for that is different probably. that note wasnt used by virtually noone, as it would be strange to get your salary in few 500 euro bills...

Its about storage space :winkwink:

The things is that only very few would pay in 200, so there would be PLENTY of 100 and 50 bills to give change. It would come out even better for station in those terms.

The powers that be will do ANYTHING to keep their bubble economies going long enough til they die. LOL

Negative interest rates + the elimination of cash = total control over the economy (and population).

Get ready, it's coming.

its mostly because they dont have enough change. if everybody would be paying in 200 euros, they would have no change to give.

whether the total is ?50 or ?195, they won't accept a 200 bill.

So obviously its not about change. What mineistaken said.

it's just too big ! I wouldnt accept it either.:winkwink:

its bullshit ! what difference would it make for you if your cash will occupy box of cigars, box of chocolate or box of shoes ?
unless you are billionaire it doesnt matter at all...if it will occupy something big like bathtub or garage, you may always spread it around..into small boxes...you may buy diamonds, gold, bitcoin, whatever....

i don't think it's that.. one can only listen to 'its a conspiracy' so much before they accept that no one really wants to talk about any of this

every so often someone will think they have discovered something special, and then attempt to educate and inevitably lambaste people for perceived 'stupidity'.. when in reality they're just new to the party

You theory might be correct, but it is not smart to pretend it is 100% correct. As if there is not even 0.000001% chance that they decided it for simple reasons such as - it is not being used by virtually no one, shops do not take them etc. So printing unusable bills (and only cater to hoarders who prefer their 1.000.000 euro in 2kg and not 5kg) may not be the viable business or common sense decision. Are you sure there is not even 0.000001% chance that it is for those reasons? Chance of conspiracy must be 100.00% and not even 99.9999%? :)

well.. ahh... you are saying there is a plan by a group of people to do something unlawful or harmful. i am pretty sure that is the definition of 'conspiracy', regardless if it's true or not.

Furthermore, you're saying so means you're theorizing the existence based on evidence you see/have/feel.

and now you will realize there has been years already spent making sure people who are theorizing conspiracies have already been framed as less than intelligent ( not to say you are, i mostly agree with you about this subject.

atm, the finance ministers are only asking for an investigation into the ban of the note due to the possible corruption & laundering using the notes.

If the governments wanted to take control, they would ban cash & notes immediately, there'd be nothing anyone could do about it, if it was a world wide determination. US have had large notes recalled for years, there's no major issue, especially as most have said, 5 100 notes in your pocket is no big deal & at no point do you need to carry this amount around with you or you're looking to be robbed :2 cents:

What tools does the Fed have left? Part 1: Negative interest rates

[C]onclusion on negative interest rates

The anxiety about negative interest rates seen recently in the media and in markets seems to me to be overdone. Logically, when short-term rates have been cut to zero, modestly negative rates seem a natural continuation; there is no clear discontinuity in the economic and financial effects of, say, a 0.1 percent interest rate and a -0.1 percent rate. Moreover, a negative interest rate on bank reserves does not imply that the most economically relevant rates, like mortgage rates or corporate borrowing rates, would be negative; in the US, they almost certainly would not be. Negative rates have some costs, in their effects on money market funds for example, but these ought to be manageable. On the other hand, the potential benefits of negative rates are limited, because rates that are too negative would trigger hoarding of currency. Although the European experience suggests that rates can be more negative than the Fed staff estimated in 2010, I don’t think U.S. rates could approach the extreme values seen in Switzerland or Sweden without becoming counterproductive.

Overall, as a tool of monetary policy, negative interest rates appear to have both modest benefits and manageable costs; and I assess the probability that this tool will be used in the U.S. as quite low for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, it would probably be worthwhile for the Fed to conduct further analysis of this option. We can imagine a hypothetical future situation in which the Fed has cut the fed funds rate to zero and used forward guidance to try to talk down longer-term interest rates. Suppose some additional accommodation is desired, but not enough to justify a new round of quantitative easing, with all its difficulties of calibration and communication. In that scenario, a policy of modestly negative interest rates might be a reasonable compromise between no action and rolling out the big QE Gun.
Yes, currency would be more voluminous to hoard without larger denomination banknotes. Hard asset commodities or precious metals or gems might be a better way.

Of course the banks may try to take advantage of the negative rates their reserves are charged by passing along higher fees for small depositors. see: Negative interest rate bank account impact - Business Insider

stopping the €500 note because of:

money laundering;
no real use;
it has germs and is the 'lergy

is about as true as 2257 being to 'protect the children', and the old bill being able to do what they want dressed in riot gear because of 'terrorism', and tubes starting out with thousands upon thousands of 'user uploads', and 'rogue programmers' being at fault for 1,250 naughty things that were genuine mistakes, and chris mallick being a victim of funds in motion.

The Porn Nerd 05-06-2016 01:21 PM

Another problem with paper money - from the banks perspective - is there's so much of it floating around that many banks won't agree to take it! That's right, banks are outright refusing to store huge quantities of cash, or in some cases charging for it. So there's another reason.

But the #1 "problem" with conspiracies in general is not that they are happening (of course they are) it's that the average person (you and I) can do absolutely nothing about it. It's like watching a Pro Wrestling WWE match and thinking you can influence the outcome in any way.

Read up on the new 2016 EU bank Bail Ins that have been implemented for the next round of financial problems.

Quote:

If you have a bank account anywhere in Europe, you need to read this article. On January 1st, 2016, a new bail-in system will go into effect for all European banks. This new system is based on the Cyprus bank bail-ins that we witnessed a few years ago. If you will remember, money was grabbed from anyone that had more than 100,000 euros in their bank accounts in order to bail out the banks. Now the exact same principles that were used in Cyprus are going to apply to all of Europe. And with the entire global financial system teetering on the brink of chaos, that is not good news for those that have large amounts of money stashed in shaky European banks.

Quote:

The European Union entered a brave new world of bank ?bail-ins? at the start of 2016. Europe has wasted so much taxpayers? money on bailing out bust banks in recent years that it is right to try to get investors to help foot the bills in future. However, the tough new regime carries big political risks.

The key new rule is that no bank can be bailed out with public money until creditors accounting for at least 8 percent of the lender?s liabilities have stumped up. So-called bail-ins typically mean wiping out creditors? investments, slashing their value or converting them into shares in the bank. Uninsured depositors could get caught along with professional investors.

The last place you want to have money is in a bank :2 cents:

It just basically says, that first the shareholders etc should bailout/in the bank, instead of taxpayers, which is a good thing. Everyone bitched about usa/eu bailing out big banks (too big to fail etc), now they want to do the opposite and still everyone will be bitching :) Someone has to take the loss, if its not the state (taxpayers), then it has to be everyone who has money there.. But:

Quote:

The theory is that shareholders should take the first hit because they know they are risking their money. If that isn?t enough to stabilise the bank, subordinated bondholders should step up because they too should know such investments are risky. Next in line are senior bondholders and, finally, uninsured depositors ? which, in the EU, means those with more than 100,000 euros in their accounts. The small depositors should not be touched.
So if you have like two zillion euros, like I'm pretty sure everyone got on gfy, then you divide that money into 100.000 eur packages and put all those in different banks and you will be fine. (different banks should be I think really different banks, not just banks going under different names, but with the same owner)

CarlosTheGaucho 05-07-2016 05:04 AM

More cash on the street = less money to speculate with in the artificial economy and less control over limiting saving / lending etc.

Powered by banking, big business and government hand to hand, sure its more convenient for them to have access to your funds. There's no conspiracy this is just common sense.
