Im all for it. I moved back to Norway for a few years (2006) and most of the time there I only carried my debit card and no cash. I sometimes had a 200kr note in the same card sleeve for emergencies, but think I only used it once or twice in the 5-6 years I was there. Even remote pop up cafes/hot dog stands in the middle of nowhere took chip and pin cards. It annoyed when I moved back to the UK that I had to start carry cash again as most corner shops in the UK have a minimum spend of £5 for cards. For valid reasons as in the UK the card providers charge a much higher fee than in Norway but it generally makes me avoid those shops. The spread of contactless cards are also a blessing (in the UK and Norway). Paying for kids ride on stationary cars in shopping centres, even quick charity donations, etc are all great friction removing innovations.
