Five dates. One ring around your savings.
Nov 26
Run up debt
Dec 26
Digitise
24.12.26
Identify
11.01.27
Close the doors
10.07.27
Limit
Every date in this webinar is official: the EU Official Journal, Commission speech transcripts, Bundestag printed papers, case numbers from Karlsruhe. You don't have to take our word for it. We show you where to read up on everything yourself.
On its own, every decision sounds harmless. Put together, they form a sequence: run up debt, digitalise, identify, close doors, limit. Nobody claims anyone wants to debit your account balance. We are only showing the blueprint.
In their own words
Ursula von der Leyen to France's business leaders: 10 trillion euros of private household savings are lying "idle", "paresseuse", lazy, in the French version. They are to be "put to work" for companies. Agreement "before the end of the year", if necessary without all 27 member states. On record in the official transcript SPEECH/26/1765.
End of November 2026
The federal government approves 203.7 billion euros of new debt.
The 2027 budget has been tabled in the Bundestag since the September budget week: 203.7 billion euros of new debt. The federal government's interest burden is set to rise to 80.7 billion euros a year by 2030. It will be passed at the end of November and repaid from future taxes and levies.
December 2026
The digital euro law is expected to be finalised.
The Federal Ministry of Finance, verbatim: "pass the law for the digital euro by the end of the year". The draft contains a cap on how many digital euros you may hold. The number is not in the law. It will be set later.
24 December 2026
Every EU state must provide the digital ID wallet.
Regulation 2024/1183: for you, using it remains voluntary. The others are the ones being obliged: banks, payment services, energy suppliers and telecoms must accept the wallet from 24 December 2027 at the latest.
11 January 2027
The door abroad is closing.
EU banking directive CRD VI, Article 21c: banks outside the EU may no longer offer EU citizens new accounts or deposits without an EU branch. Grandfathering only for contracts concluded before 11 July 2026. That cut-off date has already passed.
July 10, 2027
The EU cash regulation takes effect.
Regulation 2024/1624: cash payments to merchants only up to 10,000 euros, mandatory ID from 3,000 euros. Cash deposits of more than 10,000 euros into your own account are automatically reported to the anti-money-laundering unit.
Also in the calendar
12 and 13 October 2026
Karlsruhe hears the inheritance tax cases: allowances, tax rates, the valuation of your house (1 BvF 1/23 and 1 BvR 804/22). Heard, not yet decided.
And after that
10 July 2029
The EU interconnects all bank account registers, extended to securities accounts, crypto accounts and safe deposit boxes. Authorities receive "immediate and unfiltered access" (Directive 2024/1640, Article 16).
Physical gold in your possession is in no register, has no server, no terms and conditions, no liability cap and no off switch. In the webinar you get the complete calendar. And the answer to what you can still do before each of these dates.

Not in dictatorships. In democracies, with court files and case numbers. Three cases from recent years, explained step by step in the webinar.
0
rulings before everything was blocked
A 70-year-old former Swiss colonel is placed on an EU sanctions list unanimously and without a hearing. The result: all accounts, cards and insurance policies blocked, in Switzerland too. His words: "I survived thanks to my neighbours. They brought me food." His case is pending at the European Court of Justice, with no decision before 2028.
10.300 €
Liability per safe deposit box, at most
Break-in at the vault of a bank in Gelsenkirchen: more than 3,000 safe deposit boxes looted, damage running into the millions. Under the contract, the bank is liable for at most 10,300 euros per box. One pensioner lost more than 390,000 euros, the proceeds from selling her flat. 20 civil lawsuits have been filed, suspended until the expert report in November.
257
accounts and cards frozen by emergency decree
Around 257 accounts and cards were frozen without a judge. They were released after days to weeks. A court found in 2024 that the freeze was unlawful and amounted to a seizure. The appeals court confirmed it unanimously on 16 January 2026.
And the classics
Cyprus 2013, Italy 1992, Greece 2015, the 1952 Lastenausgleich levy. All democracies. All duly passed into law.
Blocked in seconds. Justice in years.
The question is not whether you will ever end up on a list. The question is which part of your wealth answers to no list at all. That is exactly what 23 September is about.
Tax law, the digital euro, the monetary system, the economy, society and the view from Switzerland. Every guest gets a topic, you get the Q&A.

"Only through Dominik's webinar did I understand how it all fits together: the wave of bankruptcies, record taxes, the grab on savings. This is no conspiracy talk – every number was backed by a source. I moved out of overnight deposits immediately. My wealth now sits outside the digital system."
"As a banker I was sceptical at first. But the analysis of the EU Savings and Investment Union and the link between 800 billion euros in savings deposits and rearmament convinced me. Marc Friedrich rightly calls it expropriation through the back door. My money is no longer just in a savings account – a large part of it is now in physical gold and silver."
"As a tax advisor I see every day what the exit tax and the inheritance tax reform do to my clients. Dominik's webinar on the EU asset register was a revelation – plus the reminder of the 1952 burden-sharing levy, from which precious metals were exempt. That physical gold is tax-free after a 12-month holding period is almost a privilege today. I use it myself – and recommend it to all my clients."
