The falsity of this statement is the entire point of the article.
I agree with you otherwise, I think, but this sentence is, now, in this time, unambiguously false.
- ddingus 8y agoNo it's not. Cash does not have downtime, and it can be used by anyone. Now, someone making a business choice to refuse legal tender does not speak to the robustness of said tender, only their choices. As long as things are good, payment systems running, networks up, that choice can be compelling. When those things are not true, the fall back is what? Not do business? Queue transactions and exchange the info needed? Refer customer elsewhere? People making cash not work is different from cash not always working. I agree with you as well, in that "always" needs qualification. Fair enough. Either way, I will very seriously reconsider most purchases where cash is not an option. It is likely I don't need whatever it is.
- msla 8y ago> Cash does not have downtime, and it can be used by anyone. But not at the store the article is talking about. Which is the point of the article.
- ddingus 8y agoYes, I could care less. I don't need what they're offering. Won't do business there. And now that I know, I'm going to Advocate others don't either.
