A lot of us young people live far enough down the slippery slope that it doesn't seem like a practical concern. I wouldn't find it remotely tolerable to be cut off from online payments - no Steam, no Netflix, no Amazon? So rather than making sure there are good cash-only options, I want to make sure everyone has the right and ability to perform credit card payments or some kind of similar electronic transaction. (This is where a lot of cryptocurrency enthusiasm comes from, and while I'm a skeptic in general I wholeheartedly endorse this motivation.)
- anonporridge 5y agoI agree that we definitely need some harsh policy enacted to enshrine transact-ability as an inalienable right. I personally see cryptocurrency as something akin to second amendment rights. You hold and support it as a citizen's check and balance to make government abuse of people harder to implement.
