> No thanks. Cash is king. Money should never be traceable, and you should be able to buy with anonymity. If you believe that, you're going to be shocked when the vast majority of people switch to cashless systems, and cash will only be used for criminal activity, and then cash will become criminalized. The solution isn't to preserve cash. That's doomed to failure. |

It won't happen if enough people fight it. You should value privacy and have a healthy distrust of both banks and governments.
Here are the heartening results of an EU survey conducted earlier this year about restricting payments in cash[0]. In short, 94.9% of respondents oppose restrictions on cash payments. 86.9% believe that paying anonymously is an essential personal freedom. That's the spirit.
