I am suspicious of their motives. They say it's to curb illicit trade using anonymous cash but I'm suspecting they will like the side effects of removing cash.

People wouldn't be able to do bank runs as easily which would give even more leverage to the central financial planners using techniques like negative interest rates. I really think cash shouldn't be abolished until we have a decent alternative(maybe some crypto currency).
