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.

I can think of no other outcome than the world eventually going cashless... problem is, what does that mean?
Money and wealth is currently based on the representation of cash, somewhere... at a bank, etc.
Our system of currency is essentially the same as it was almost 1000 years ago when the Catholic Knights Templar invented it.
When cash actually goes away, what then? What is it tied to? Certainly not gold... Nixon did away with that in the 60s.
I fear having my wealth simply being a number on a webpage.

No cash = no freedom.

You just don’t know how it works. Anyone can scan my QR code in my app and transfer me funds.

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..
