    My friend I’ve been to countries where businesses don’t accept cash and the currency is still considered legal tender.

    Like, I’ve (literally) turned up at coffee shops, tried to pay in cash, only to be told “we don’t accept cash, only credit card or digital payment.” (the latter in my experience is often via QR codes and the system sucks because 10 second transactions become 25 second transactions)

    The legal frameworks in such jurisdictions may be very different than Denmark’s.

    Edit: Beyond which, does Amazon accept cash? eBay? I’ve never heard of them doing so and don’t recall ever seeing the option.

      OK then per the user isomorph post I responded to, we have better options to minimize digital footprint than such countries.
