Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

I disagree strongly with your view on that.

Still not sure why you think cash needs a month?

[-] naut@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Because it is disappearing and money is only what is left when you trade your life time. If I'm trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

That's fine. I can get that. For many of us though we are so worried about surviving and providing for others that it would be very hard / determinental to take this stand at the loss of compound interest which can hopefully become like a future source of sustainable income in and of itself. So go and do it, but few people in a tough economy can afford to join you so maybe just make it kind of your own thing.

If you're doing things that mean the bank might freeze your account then you can keep it in cash. Most criminals do this for that reason.
