There's no war on cash, theres a refresh on the notes, its an attack on black money, its time to pay the dues if you've been hoarding illegal revenues. India isn't getting rid of cash, the comparisons to Nigeria are pointless.
- filereaper 10y agoThe author's twitter [https://twitter.com/eiaine https://twitter.com/eiaine] seems to suggest a very strong bias towards Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies. This is a poor way to promote her biases towards technology.
- kranner 10y agoPlease address points made in the article rather than trying to ascribe ulterior motives to the author by googling them. This seems like a variant of the very distasteful pro-BJP meme of "if you're against demonetisation, you must be corrupt and anti-national". It shuts down productive discussion.
- ethbro 10y agoThe article itself is phrased pretty poorly if it's intending to make an honest viewpoint. I'm not sure the author realizes that prefacing your opinion with 'may' and 'might' doesn't absolve journalists of a responsibility to cite sources. > Those who want to fight corruption by policing cash may have the causality backwards.
- kranner 10y agoFair enough but I still don't think ad hominem arguments should be encouraged.
