Would you want a cashless society?

Yes

No

No, never. I use cash all the time, because I can (and I don't have a 'smartphone'). Never had a credit card either.

Cash is at least real to the extent you can hold it in your hand. Currencies like Bitcoin are digital, therefore fake. EFTPOS (electronic funds transfer at point of sale) aren't real either. And what will y'all do when, or if, the electricity goes out, for whatever reason? It's actually happening a lot now in Australia, because our deranged government ministers have for so long now been pushing "green energy" and closing down our power stations. Yeah, really smart move that (not).

I think both are beneficial. I don't carry cash that often, usually under £20. Often will just go out with my phone and no wallet (use my phone to pay for things).

But I like going to fairs and and markets and a lot of business in places like that can't afford the fees for setting up card readers and can't risk doing transfers. So cash is the better option, especially for those smaller businesses just starting out.

The only reason you won't want this is because you sell or buy drugs really or something else illegal.
If the thing is not illegal then there is no benefit to using cash in anyway.

Which is exactly why I say no, I prefer it if people have the freedom to get drugs and do at least come criminal things it's part of a society and to make such a system of cashless would mean criminals need to get smarter with tech which would only be a bad thing.

Too easy to hack and have the government know everything about your business.
The question that I have. How would you do person to person money transactions?

For someone that is still living on mommy and daddy’s allowance. You wouldn’t know about working under the table to avoid taxes.

[Asker]

Why? R u buying something you shouldn't be buying?

[Opinion Owner]

Are you slow? You don't understand why companies want to track your data and your spending to sell all your information to third-party companies and china to make a prohibt off your personal information? Are you unaware of data brokers that sell all your private information to robot callers scammers, stalkers, criminals etc?

I guess overestamated the young generation I was expecting you to understand how technology.

I can’t believe some people are voting yes.

[Asker]

Why? Just cause you wanna buy illegal items 🙄

[Flower7]

No I just think it makes things easier when having physical money. Especially for poorer people. I don’t buy illegal items.

[I_am_a_human]

I would be willing to try a common world currency.
