Cash for most things, and just use a card like normal otherwise.

I don't really see the appeal of contactless payment, pulling a card out really doesn't take much time.

Just having to take your phone with you is quite comfortable. Your phone is probably the pocket-sized item you are unlikeliest to lose.
True, but I also need my license to ride my motorcycle or drive a car, plus cash needs to go somewhere.
The perks of living in a city with good public transport

+ my country already has a mobile driver's license app

And most places take card (or nfc via google/apple pay)

Google Pay (Google Wallet) actually also has virtual number so my real card number won't leak in many cases.
Cards are "contactless payment" these days.
