Somehow I don't agree that it is a good idea to succumb the entire population to a known disease vector and encumber society with the massive administration and physical costs of dealing with cash, just to spite a bogeyman that's "stealing your independence".
- stavros 2y agoIt's all fun and games and bogeymen until you get hit with capital controls and you're limited to 70 EUR/day cash withdrawals. The happy path is great until it's not. You can think "it won't happen to me" all you want, but that doesn't mean it won't.
- brainwad 2y agoHow will cash help against capital controls, exactly? Unless you are poor, you never have more than a tiny fraction of your wealth in cash anyway. So when capital controls are declared, you will still be screwed.
- stavros 2y agoWell, cash helped me, because I had a good enough fraction of my wealth in cash to not be affected. It's not like things are just fine one day, and bam!, capital controls the next.
