A lot of the comments to this post talks about the dangers with a cashless society in terms of giving up the right to privacy. While that might be true right now one must remember that the technological advances of cashless payments are very new and we must work towards a cashless payment solution that can meet the privacy needs that cash provides. Saying that "you should always be able to pay with cash if you want" sounds technophobic.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoIn the US, cash money is enshrined in the Constitution. It'll take a significant act of Congress to change that. So a long history of cash as a civil right.
- digestiv3 7y agoThat is true for many technological advances when faced with dated legislation. "Written in stone" is a very poor saying since the collective understanding changes with time. Conservativism does not play well with the rapid technological advances made each year.
