wow, so futuristic! but which part of i put cash from my hand int yours is not instant enough?
idk about you but i don’t carry around $10,000 cash… i do however carry around my phone, which (assuming someone has that) has access to transfer that, and more
man if only some kind of "technology" existed to securely hand over big amounts of money, like maybe the cash could be "stored" somewhere, like in a "database" of some sorts, and we could then use some kind of "unique identifiers" and make like "transfers" in cases where the needed cash amount is so big that carrying it around makes us feel uncomfortable 🤔
that’s literally what this is about
