How is that the issue of the card payments though. Do people that support your argument, just keep massive amounts of cash at home?
I still keep my money at a bank, no matter if I pay with my card or if I use the ~100$ cash I have in my wallet.
- throwaway22032 5y ago"Massive" is your framing, it's abnormal to you but not to others. You probably wouldn't say that I have a "massive" amount of clothes because I have enough for a couple of weeks without washing them. I see having about the same in cash as being fairly normal.
- Double_a_92 5y agoMy point was that I still need to rely on a bank to get new cash, and that bank still operates in digital ways, ... there is no point in just looking at the way you pay in a shop. Like you are not really better of in the long term just because you have some cash in your wallet. You would need to keep all your money as cash, to have a systematic advantage.
- anonporridge 5y agoNo, but if you did find yourself in that situation, you could still request cash from your employer, friends, or family, without obviously implicating them in aiding you. Or you could do odd jobs or beg on the streets for the cash you need to survive. If you're digitally blacklisted, and can't send or receive money, then the only option you have is hope that someone in your life is willing to risk helping you directly by buying you things with no guarantee you'll ever be able to pay them back.
