Interesting how cash money still elicits such emotions.
When the European Central Bank announced a new design for the euro bills nobody in my country really cared anymore because most payments are electronic.
The danger to that ofcourse is that you risk overspending but retailers approve.
- naIak 11mo agoThe actual danger is that you’re creating a system where the government will have the power to tell you what you can spend your money on.
- DaSHacka 11mo agoExactly this, and track every last cent you've spent, and where.
- zitsarethecure 11mo agoIt's already a system where unaccountable private monopolistic moralizing multinational middle men have the power to tell you what you can spend your money on.
- pizzafeelsright 11mo agoThe government already has the power to tell you where (local vs bank transfer) and what (taxes, fines) you must spend your money on. Favors, trust, and reputation cannot be taxed.
- naIak 11mo ago“The government already has too much power, so let it take even more” is not convincing.
