What a click-bait title, swedes as a people has said nothing like this.
As a swede i see no indication of it at all. It i more like the exact opposite, most people seam to hate cash and take every opportunity to move away from it.
- hsson 9y agoThis is my experience in Sweden as well. The only people I've heard complaining about the move away from cash are older generations (65+) — everyone else loves it. The e-krona initiative could solve the problem of allowing a cashless system while still giving control to the Riksbank [1].

Do they happen to be the ones who use smartphones instead of computers, listen to dubstep instead of music, and so on? The people who watch fucking Let's Plays? Oh well. One day we'll look back at that generation, laugh our asses off, and change the subject.
