Why should I not be allowed to take that risk?

At a certain point driving a motorcycle gets very risky too.

There's also regulation on driving motorcycles

I, for one, welcome our new privacy destroying overlords.

This isn’t about carrying cash, so much as spending it without an electronic trail. They want more data.

At a certain point, carrying so much data just gets very risky.

I don’t disagree with you outright but the denomination seems incredibly small with (unless I missed something) the only intent to reduce the supply of cash in circulation. If they capped it at something like an order of magnitude more I could maybe feel differently. Not sure why you’re getting downvoted as you present a valid opinion.

But why should the state get to decide that for the citizen? The citizen should decide for themselves what they feel is too risky.
