oh come on boys, that would be a really nice topic to have a serious disscussion about, yet the comment section is filled with pretty much total nonsense.
I am a cash only person. i do have a bank account, but if i want to send a bigger sum of meney somewhere, i have to fill out a paper and hand it to the bank. which rarely happens.
sometimes, things are better if they are not "as convenient as possible"
its that whole " youll own nothing and be happy, topic.
like, sure its convenient to live in an Utopia where you dont have to think or work, but are you still human then?
i know its a childish comparisson, but "WALL_E" is a perfect example of what this may lead to.
If we had a Global or interplanetary society that is truely interested in the well being of everyone, then maybe it would be a good idea to not waste any ressources on providing a method of keeping track of ones spending power, but we arent in this state,
what we have is a system that tries to fuck us over sideways for thousands of years by now.
so i dont reject the tools they propose for what they are, i reject the tools they propose for what they are supposed to accomplish.
push of one button, money gone. bad citizen, Gulag now.

Everything you need to know to know that this is pro-cashless propaganda.

Seriously. read the labels, or better yet, stop buying pre-prepared anything.
