Thread: the War on Cash

How long ago it is that anyone got paid a salary in cash? the 60's?

Anyone ever bought a car using a cheque book?

The only thing that will change is small transactions. That being said it will disturb me if one cannot pay with cash because I might not have the correct type of card for the system I am trying to use? Banks will charge businesses for using plastic and they won't be able to do anything about it.

Might create some competition as phone companies will allow purchases to be put on one's phone bill?

It costs money to restock ATM's and banks don't like that.

Where will a lap dancer keep her eftpos machine?

Like using a credit card at a used car parts place just outside Vegas?

I don't think you've thought this through mate in all honesty.

I'm talking about any transaction you want to keep private.

But even that isn't really the biggest problem. In Europe, they have already began trial runs of savings confiscation. The government of Cyprus confiscated 10% of their citizens savings accounts when they couldn't pay back their debt. Think about it. Your money forced into a broken and bankrupt system. That is major fucking disaster.

If you don't see a problem with that, well I don't what I can say to convince you but its a terrible idea and people like you will likely never see the reasons why until its too late.

There are virtual currencies around that act as the electronic version of cash. They are highly volatile and atm really only used to buy drugs and darkmarket stuff. There's always gonna be a demand for cash-like markets so there will always be an alternative even if it is not something you physically hold in your hand.

Nobody, of course has ever been told, by the polite machine, "Service is unavailable at the present time", "Unable to issue cash at the present time", "Your account does not have enough credit" or "An error has occurred, please contact you bank".

All available to those that control you, at a press of a button.

One wonders when the "leaders" will ban air. To stop the terrorists breathing. Ban airplanes - because terrorists use them, ban guns and bullets - because terrorists use them...........

Best get some items one can barter with.
