I hereby resolve to use cash as often as I possibly can, to show in my own small way that "the market" still demands the cash option.
The small inconvenience of carrying around a few bits of paper and metal is worth it to protect the rights of those outside the banking system.

It was on a highway, so my car was towed by scumbags who insisted on bringing it all the way back to their facility rather than anywhere useful. Obviously they wanted to require me to come back later, store it all weekend, and rake in more ill-gotten gains. I demanded my car be released as soon as possible, to which they tried to dissuade me that it would be a lot of money, they didn't take credit cards, they were technically closed so if I went to an ATM they wouldn't be there when I got back, etc. I stood firm since none of this was a problem, bailed my car out, and successfully avoided being further gouged by their racket. If you don't see the utility in carrying cash you're basically asking to be taken advantage of, in both the immediate and long term.
