They are already planning it (I think, I heard it already from Sweden). But to ban cash will be much more difficult than Bitcoin, since so many people will shout up -- with Bitcoin, who cares, when a few hackers who are probably already involved in illegal activities (drug, sex, copyright violations, .... you name it) will be mad.
- SyneRyder 11y agoThere are already stores in Sweden where cash is not accepted. One notable example is the ABBA Museum, where ABBA songwriter Björn Ulvaeus believes a cashless society will reduce crime: An ABBA Star's Campaign for a 100% Cash-Free Sweden http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-10-28/abbas-bj-rn-ulvaeus-does-his-part-to-make-sweden-cashless http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-10-28/abbas-bj-rn-...
- PythonicAlpha 11y agoWhile a cashless society might reduce crime (for a little while), it will definitively bring an Orwellian system onto us. Also, we have seen, that there are enough corrupt banks and bankers around, so crime will go on ... (money laundering also does work today in company with banks).
