Given the current technological landscape, we are not ready for a cashless society. People don't have the knowledge nor the equipment required to make it a good system. Avoiding this cashless thing seems like the correct move, until we have good social infrastructure (in my opinion, not likely to happen before 2060). We need what Richard Stallman calls digital extraction: >Projects with the goal of digital inclusion are making a big assumption. They are assuming that participating in a digital society is good, but that's not necessarily true. Being in a digital society can be good or bad, depending on whether that digital society is just or unjust. There are many ways in which our freedom is being attacked by digital technology. Digital technology can make things worse, and it will, unless we fight to prevent it. >Therefore, if we have an unjust digital society, we should cancel these projects for digital inclusion and launch projects for digital extraction. We have to extract people from digital society if it doesn't respect their freedom, or we have to make it respect their freedom. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-digital-society.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-digital-society.en.html
