Belgian telecoms can drill façades w/out consent and they do not have to offer you service. Home owners also must finance reg. letters to announce renovations.

If forced-banking compels us to sign contracts with banks, what are the benefits to signing under duress?
The UK has an NGO to defend cash: “Payment Choice Alliance”. What about Belgium?
Proliferation of gatekeepers of /physical/ buildings in Brussels thwart access to lawyers, journalists, NGOs, etc…, often by imposing Microsoft or Google

Are bad actors on Tor all really from the general public? Or are they anti-Tor people looking to maintain a stigma?
The Tor community needs a resource that tests and publishes a report whether a website is “open access”

Yes, Bill Gates and his “Better than Cash Alliance” are working diligently to impose forced-banking on everyone, to get everyone licking the boots of giant corporations, as he was quite successful in doing with Microsoft.
Europe will not eliminate cash because the EU has exclusive competency over the single euro and legal tender status and meaning. If you read any court docs like that of the Hessischer Rundfunk, it’s very clear that there is a hard line prohibition on any attempts to abolish euro cash banknotes.
The problem is that while the continued existence of cash is guaranteed, forced-banking is still happening in parallel. You might have a right to buy a burger using cash banknotes but you’re not free from banks if a tax payment via bank transfer is imposed. That’s the problem. We have the worse of both worlds.
It’s not good enough. It’s easy for 6 or so banks to “compete” against each other as they collectively screw people over in various ways. Cash from the central bank is a competitor that will /never/ force you to run a smartphone app, for example, or charge you a fee. Cash is the single most important competitor banks can have.
