NOT ... There seems to be no threat of a cashless society. ... there was no true evidence in the article that it’s happening.
The global trends, work, quotes by powers, and changes pushing toward and in fact growing the implementations of cashless systems and supporting structures toward implementing the same... are very well documented, numerous, and broad... for those who mind are liberated enough to actually search and confirm or not the actual facts from the noise. Here's a bunch more authors and quote filled links, many ultimately resolving back to GovCorpEdu sources and actions, that one could actually bother to research and study well, among many more one can search and find elsewhere... https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin+CryptoCurrencies+CryptoCurrency+btc/search?restrict_sr=on&q=%22war+on+cash%22+OR+%22cashless%22 https://www.google.com/search?q=war+on+cash ... whereby after such study it would be utterly ridiculous for anyone to attempt to claim such a "NOT".
That first HumanEvents.com article was horrible, mostly just highly exaggerated opinions. It was often contradicted by it’s own links
The article and its links were well quoted and referenced and on point to some of the issues and happenings, that the entire thing is now included below. That way when people wonder where their cash went in time of need that no one can say they were not warned to wake up and act to prevent it. Or better yet, allocate to more freedom oriented forms.
It started with the "don’t let the media shame you" crap was just that- crap trying to create fear.
Perhaps better than claiming that "crap" to spend time first understanding how media propaganda from GovCorpEdu works starting with the surface level... https://www.google.com/search?q=propaganda https://www.google.com/search?q=media+propaganda https://www.google.com/search?q=government+propaganda https://www.google.com/search?q=corporate+propaganda Of course you already know Google and YouTube are engaged in massive censorship and message steering as well... https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/when-google-met-wikileaks/ Or did liberation tech forget those things already.
Whether it’s because the author really fears a cashless society or just wants to monetize eyeballs, I don’t know.
History has a way of ascribing all manner of slight, censor, and death upon its various Galileo's of the moment. Consider that the authors might just be right. Or provide disproving evidence, or even actual argument... both much harder tasks for most who probably don't know, much, for lack of counter search perhaps.
FinTech businesses would like a cashless society.
True, since all monetized fintech is interested in is being over you, "businesses" by definition being Gov, Bank, Corp... there are much profits and freedom to take from you there... that is where and how the fintech biz ultimately mentions "you" in their business plans. Witness the endless proliferation of centrally controlled shitcoins vs the few distributed P2P and privacy coins. There is no business or control profits to be had with the latter coins... no business to be had from such freedom... no first sale profit to the volunteer opensource product given freely of copyright and license to the world.
And there seems to be a bit of a coin shortage, but the stores that the article says are refusing cash are not.
Various stores have refused to handle cash or give coin change, frequent users of cash have documented that around the world around corona shutdowns, even when there were sufficient coins intake sitting in the store users watched stores brains explode on such simple non-problems as giving that change out. "We can take exact and over change, but we can't give change out".
Plus, a dime is worth a bit less than a penny was when I was growing up 50 years ago.
90% drop in your purchase power, that's real nice, and people clamor and "vote" for that shit in their praised democracies, because "peoplecount", lol. Governments printing press, Banks loan machine, and Politicos did that scam. Anyone having cash is devalued (effectively stolen from) by them all. Cashless "cash" will of course only increase those and other more direct takings and worse abuses. https://www.zerohedge.com/search-content?search_api_fulltext=cashless
(could even make a quarter worth $0.30).
Such upward valuation is not in Government's interest. Nor is any larger sum such as $1.00 readily divisible by it. Nor is the world prepared to reprogram all its systems like that. And by the time any of it is implemented, that $0.30 will have been printed and debted downward to about $0.20. Good luck.
It’s weird that stores can give large discounts (sales) but not round the total down so pennies and nickels aren’t needed…
That's because they're stuffing you with *propaganda* that $0.99 is meaningfully less than $1.00, and it worked, you all bought that lie, so they have no reason to change and will keep scamming those 9's from you. Add all those up.
And no, cash is not worthless. ... Yes, gold and silver have a different kind of value,
That value being the capital and work that went into producing them which no sane producer will supply for free into market demand, plus their secondary uses... industry, jewelery, etc. Cash is utterly worthless in comparison... having no more value than the cost of printing paper per nominal, the stamping base metals, and these days via War On Cash, that being further reduced to merely hitting the enter key over some digital nominals and extra digital zeros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seigniorage Did anyone even bother to research that either.

but they’re not liquid…
They are as liquid as what people choose to hold and transact, same as cash, rocks, chickens, dollars, digits. That is different from studying any inherent limitations or benefits to liquidity that any particular forms may have.
All money, including gold and silver, only has value because people agree it does.
True, however only a fool would accept sand for sweat regardless who elsewhere agree on it.
And no, the government doesn’t control its value. They wish they could. Yes, government bail-outs and borrowing make the chance of inflation much larger and the value of a currency can plummet, but that’ll effect digital currency as well.
Did anyone ever research bails and printing in Greece, Cyprus, Venezuela, Russia, Rome, Germany, USA... Central Bank Gov structures can and do literally burn, print, and steal at will, they have total control of what passes through their fingers. Your Government / Central Bank / Corporate Digital Currency will have all such problems and more, and with them you will also lose all means of rightly refusing their reach. Gold and distributed private p2p cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin-alikes as early prototypes) are not thought to be run by GovCorp (it's candy bait to give them diabetes death) and could remain more immune over most parameters and times to their silly interference, with all benefits in the documentaries on same accruing to their users that want liberation freedom around world.
please don’t share such low-quality articles here.
Nice try at twistedly passive censorship, people are free to post what they want to post, for benefit of those who want to read what they want to read. You're equally free to censor your own inbox to your hearts desire, try looking at "maildrop" filter, it may suit needs. Distributed Uncensorable Private Cryptocurrency re War on Cash is also clearly within realm of a technology that liberators might consider applying toward achieving a more liberated world. But only If, as before, the mind was liberated towards actual liberation, first, before considering any application of such tech tools. PeopleCount-ing votes and representing yourselves to power forcefully over other harmless peoples has long since been shown not to be about a state of liberation at all.
Or maybe just avoid ambitious politicos (author is: ...
Let us indeed also avoid discussing some ambitious Lefty politic[o]s orgs proffering things that don't really "count" as they are claimed to... all such things well tried and failed before. Enjoy the links.
