Just think. Your bank will know all of your activities. People you do business with will, with a credit check, know if your activities and may well suspend their activities with you on that point. It's out of control.
My wife and I went out for breakfast this morning. The waitress automatically came over with the wireless machine when it was time to pay. . I surprised her, as well as any other food establishment, when I paid cash.
Paying cash is now the exception versus what was once the norm. As AP's, we tend to carry a lot of cash. Think about disguising some of your habits.
The idea of a cashless society makes me ill.
My teenage zeitgeist required a fat bankroll
in one's pocket with a wide red rubber-band
securing it. Only a "square" used a wallet for
carrying cash. My neighborhood heroes were
the iconic Italian/Jewish mobsters of the day,
who spewed cash at the slightest excuse, as
their money was "ill-gotten" and they had "No
visible means of support."
I used to go to the racetracks back in the day
with $1,000 and $500 bills. An entire bankroll
so easily sat in my hip pocket. Until that jerk,
Richard Milhaus Nixon, recalled them all.

I think it'll be a long, long time before we go completely cashless. Cash is still king. However all the people saying "it'll be the worst thing ever" I just think it's like any other big changes.. People hate big changes.
On a side not I remember talking to my friend back when Bitcoin was in its early days and he used it to buy stuff of the dark web, ill advised I will say, and he said he was done and he will cash out his bitcoins. I said "how much do you have?" He said "oh about 145 coins, I bought them for about $1.15 now they are $1.65. They go up and down like stocks"
My response "oh man that's cool, I didn't know they worked like that. Well you made a few bucks off it so that's good"
He doesn't let it get to him but we wishes he had forgotten about those 145 coins until last week. Would have a nice 600k
