It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

I'm as dead centre as it gets. On some topics, I'll gently lean left or right, but try to be balanced in my analysis of things.

I advocate for cash, as I also advocate for privacy. It doesn't make me far right.

There are plenty of reasons for cash. For me, it's privacy. For others, I'm sure there are some solid, and some whacky reasons also.

The real issue for me will be the digital dollar. Every dollar will be tracked through every transaction it's ever involved in. From inception into eternity. The ability for that data to be abused is terrifying.

I'll keep using cash as long as it exists compared to what's coming with the digital dollar.
