Reminds that cryptography has led to the loss of privacy by tagging crypto users, coders, rebels!, promoters, investors.

True. But then, it's crucial to hide the fact that you're hiding. That's hard, I admit. Using public WiFi hotspots at distance with high-gain antennas arguably provides the most privacy. But there aren't that many open APs left. And high-gain antennas are nontrivial to hide. I use nested VPN chains. So my ISP just sees that I'm using a VPN. Everything else is buried deeper, using other VPNs and Tor.
To be sure, "cash' the imaginaire of economists, is not the same as paper money which can also be tracked by human residue, transactional spoors, aggrieved victims, informers, world bank scholars under contract to finger malefactors, family members eager to payback those who fucked them, dear Mary tell what you know.
There are ways to clean paper money of DNA, RNA and proteins. Using enzymes, and mildly acidic and alkaline liquids. Gold coins are also good, because you can clean them aggressively with no fear of damage. Unless you use aqua regia, anyway. <snip>
