The negatives , you will not have any privacy and you will have to give up your bitcoin and not be able to buy some things. They can punish you and just freeze you out. They could keep you from paying your rent or house payments , or keep you from buying food. You will also lose your free speech.

Drug Lords will use Gold or silver to run their businesses and require gold or silver for payments. So I see gold and other metals being made illegal for individuals to own. The government wants total control of monetary system so they can control the population. There is also the possibility that all your money will be stolen via hacking. Also power outage and you can't buy or sell anything. Future warfare and crime will be cyber. Also imagine all the jobs eliminated.
