We experienced a big problem here in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. The island went into a blackout so no one could get their hands on cash and couldn't use their cards because the internet and cell phones also went offline. This is one thing that people don't take into consideration. A bank is not going to give you money if they can't access your account to see if you actually have that amount in your account and a store is not going to sell you something without cash if their card service is offline.

It goes into the same card machine and is just a withdrawal...many people here withdraw cash at the supermarket instead of having to go to the ATM or bank. We can even pay for our water & rates or telephone bill at the cashier in the supermarket. I pay for parking in shopping centres, with cash into a machine, or by card.

It's not an accident that you're asked "Do you have a chip?" when using a card (so you'll say to yourself "I have a chip" over and over until you think nothing of it). They are simply waiting for the older generation (most of the resistance) to die off before implementing it (making it less trouble to do so). Well, guess what. Chip implants are next.

I live in USA, in the Midwest. Many stores and restaurants are charging you 3% surcharge for use off a credit or debit card. I am sticking with cash for now.

The biggest issue with extinguising physical money for me is that you no longer has control of your wealth, it is all in the hands of banks. And as pointed out in the Doc, if those banks break you lose everything. Or in a distopical future they could you their control of the money to control people.

DW: "Could privacy become a thing of the past"? Me: It already is.

It's important to note that some countries generate an enormous amount of money through "Seigniorage" (the profit that a government makes by producing physical money when their currency is highly desirable). For countries where seigniorage is significant, it's very unlikely that they'll ever do away with cash. The US government for example makes billions of dollars a year by making and distributing physical money. It's pretty hard to argue that they will ever want to give that up.

But emergency situation, cash is king. Really I use cash only for emergency: some place doesn't offer checks or card or I don't want to open a tab at a hotel or bar or club. I do like the choice with cash. But I really like the logging of a transaction with cards. And the safety of not losing or getting robbed money... someone stills my card number, I cancel the card, and any transactions made are removed from my credit card bill or debit card if ran as credit.

Using digital is exactly what the banks want! Imagine you are going on holiday, so you can go to as many banks or institutions as you want to get the best exchange rate for your cash. Using digital puts you at the mercy of the bank. How many times have you heard stories of people coming home from a holiday to see that their purchases while on holiday have the most outrageous exchange rates attached to those purchases? This suits the banks as there is now NO competition! This also allows the banks to monitor everything you buy, where you buy it from, and destroys your privacy. The interest on card purchases is absolute daylight robbery. Banks should be classified and criminal enterprises.

This would only mean that the govt, state or big corporations could also freeze our assets if we don’t conform to their rules or be obedient to their form of conformity.
