I agree. I personally prefer paying by card 100% of the time, but cash should always be an option. I think it's fine for cash to be a little less convenient - when paying for gas, for example, the pump might only take card, and if you want to pay by cash you have to go into the store. Or a store may not be able to provide exact change and that's fine.

- nisegami 4y agoUsing any form of fiat currency does the same.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoCoins/cash have been around for thousands of years, and war since time immemorial. Cards aren’t making us do anything we haven’t already done since, well, forever.
- Simon_O_Rourke 4y agoExactly, the same kind of warmongering was enacted under livestock barter economies. The one thing I like about cashless is that it makes it just that tiny bit more difficult for bad actors who accrued their money through nefarious means.
