Isn't Japan the place (in)famous for still using paper money everywhere?

  Why is it infamous to use paper money besides during a pandemic? It’s the only way to buy something without being tracked and profiled, and it makes budgeting easier. You can actually exchange it without an intermediary taking a cut or deciding to block the transaction

    Inefficiency and tax avoidance.

      Maybe tax avoidance for the mob and for poor people. 99.9% of unpaid taxes are hiding overseas in digital accounts

  The government decided recently that cashless payments are the future so they’ve been heavily incentivizing people to use transit cards and such for payments, as of recent almost all chains and many small stores accept them :)
