Actually cashless is the way to go. I haven’t used cash in China in years. I have Alipay and WeChat pay. Both are super quick and reliable. I can’t remember the last time I visited an ATM.
Yard sales, Facebook marketplace, Kijiji, Brother-in-law..ect, ect, ect. There are BILLIONS of transactions every day that would be impossible without cash.

You just don’t know how it works. Anyone can scan my QR code in my app and transfer me funds.
No cash = no freedom. They're already demonetizing people for wrong think.
Funny. You are thinking of YouTube. This is a banking service where your funds are used to pay for goods and services. If you are treated poorly you simply use a different service. Pure capitalism. This is a digital ATM. You don’t beg.
I rarely use cash any more. I keep 'some' stashed just in case the eletronics of our world goes haywire or in case we have an extended power outage, but my normal day-to-day business practices usually involve plastic and not paper. I think I have about a dollah fity in my wallet right now, because sometimes ya just need a dollah fity..

I'm thinking of people like Andrew Anglin and EDIT Mark Collett, the latter who I see last week had his bank accounts terminated for saying things the system doesn't approve of what they express.

When people get blacklisted, all the banking structures are shutting them down with more frequency. All the major industries eventually blend into 3-4 mega-companies like they did with the news houses or appliance manufacturers. The banking structures aren't different. Banishment of wrong think is the new wave.

Ransomeware is more and more prevalent, taking down systems. Once our pharmacy was down and couldn't process cards, but I had the cash in my pocket. I almost always use cash. Facebook, all social media, grocery store rewards cards, I avoid all. I make a few purchases on debit card when I'm thin on cash and time is important.
I don't use banks, I use credit unions, and at least here if you try to open a new account they will look at your social media and if its "wrongthink" you aren't getting the account. (or loan or credit card or whatever). They are terrified cancel culture will come and bite them in the ass, so its easier to just deny obvious wrongthinkers.
