No. Electronics can shut down. Also our bodies aren't meant to have foreign objects in it. I'm willing to bet not everyone's body could have that chip put in without allergic reactions.
Although I truly want to weigh-in and voice an opinion, I'm taken aback by how complicated an issue this is when it comes to privacy, social status/class assignments, power/control issues, etc. Thanks for exploding my mind.
Ooh, fancy! Autocorrect decided that "aluminum" needed to be capitalized and that "gland" needed to be plural. My device must be part of the conspiracy.
Cashless as in exchange-goods-trade... I could do with that up to a certain ''size''. Cashless as in enslaving myself to the banking System - no freaking way!
YOU think trying to fix a credit card problem now is bad now wait it only turn to shit 3hundred million credit cards or implants plus banks can do anything with your money you have no say. Buy and barter with gold or silver
Heck no do you know how much trouble that is and then you have to go pay it off I got to drive out in rush-hour traffic to my bank and pay my credit card off I want cash nice and simple everything is over I don’t have to worry about pending bills
I don't personally use cash much.. I keep a small amount of it on hand just in case.. But to your question. No I would not be OK with a cashless society, mostly for the reasons you mentioned.
You get a banks statement instead showing how much you used to have in coins. Just like gold and silver certificates when they were discontinued. You don't get gold or silver for them anymore.
Even precious metals can collapse. If you use a Gold Standard, then if someoen discovers a large deposit of Gold by chance, they become rich and everyone else becomes poor for no rational reason.
I would have a government sponsored Crypto-currency backed by Real-Estate, not fiat.
it's probably true drug lords would then trade in gold and silver, but the police could track crime even easier: just track the addicts constantly buying gold and silver and never re-selling the gold and silver on legitimate markets. in such a scenario, If someone is hoarding a lot of precious metals, they are probably either a drug dealer or a drug user.
@Wade12345 Real estate itself is a good investments. Crypto involves the internet. That's where Government can look up your skirt and pull the plug on you.

No, if anything we should be looking to go back to when most people just used cash. The govenment knows too much of my business as it is.

Cleanup on aisle 6.
Indubitably. I'll grab some Aluminum foil to fashion a hat to protect my pineal glands from alien influences while I'm at it.

And no more buying ball gags or dildos without the government being very familiar with your sexual habits. Goodbye privacy, hello big government.
Yes yes yes!!! Been saying this forever and I couldn't have said it any better.
So you are for a cashless society?
No I'm against a cashless society lol
we all carry chips in our smartphones... wherever we go
the government knows EXACTLY how much you use your phone from the toilet, lol
No, not at all. Geez, haven't we all been through enough change already? That would cause more problems than it's worth.
KEEP A CASH SOCIETY?
Hell no, but then the government has the ability to shut down your bank account and then you're fucked
Cashless as in exchange-goods-trade... I could do with that up to a certain ''size''.
Cashless as in enslaving myself to the banking System - no freaking way!
No. It's easier to get hacked that way. The system we have now with multiple assets with liquidity, is best. Diversify, bitches.

Of course jump to absurd extremes. Are we a completely horseless society? No.
But the US govt could save a pretty penny by not minting cash. How much energy are we wasting printing paper?
It costs 5 cents to make a penny. Figure out why they still have pennies.
So you’re for a cashless society now?
No, just the fact we don't need pennies. Like why not have $10.99 just be $11?
The idea of cents and not straight dollars could be an economic one. But yes we should stop manufacturing coins and bills and just use the plastic.
Absolutely not. That would be the final nail on the coffin for capitalism and the beginning of an authoritarian corporate dictatorship.
I already live in one. And that picture is so fake... As in no these things didn't come true here at all when we went cashless
No country is truly cashless at this time that I know of.
When over 90% of you yearly transactions are cashless you more or less are cashless. Most people in my country haven't used cash for years...
Can’t play lottery or scratch offs without cash either, still need cash and coins or I can’t collect coins anymore

So much for paperless
China's social credit. And soon to be Canada's. The 🇺🇸 is trying to low key do it. Like false hope. Like medal detectors, and still getting pad down.
I would not. Why? One word. Government. I would want to go to a metals standard.
Even precious metals can collapse. If you use a Gold Standard, then if someoen discovers a large deposit of Gold by chance, they become rich and everyone else becomes poor for no rational reason.
@Wade12345 Even... If... If... Yeah OK. Don't stop believing...

No, the Gov't would monitor everything you buy. You couldn't sell privately.
