Subsantial new infrastructure would have to be built to accommodate person to person transactions. When I deal with an established vendor, I use a credit card almost 100% of the time and while not electronic currency it is close.
When I buy orsell something of craigslist right now it is almost always cash and the infrastructure available would have to change substantially for that to change.
- jpwagner 16y agohow often do you buy or sell something on craigslist and coins are involved?
- daychilde 16y agoPerhaps coins aren't used much on Craigslist, but: 1. Vending machines 2. Giving change to folks on the street Also, plenty of people, for whatever reason, pay cash at stores; coins are needed there, of course. And finally: for better or worse, cash is anonymous. Until a dependable replacement that is also anonymous comes along, people won't switch from cash.
- jpwagner 16y agonah, coins aren't needed. cash is in general, but not coins.
