WHAT WILL A CASHLESS SOCIETY MEAN?
THE PROS
CONVENIENCE — THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ANY NEED TO CARRY CASH AROUND
THE CONS
EVERY TRANSACTION YOU MAKE WILL BE TRACKED YOUR SPENDING HABITS CAN BE LINKED TO YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SPEND ON THINGS THE GOVERNMENT APPROVES OF. THINGS THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE LUXURIES — MEAT, FUEL, TRAVEL — CAN BE RESTRICTED
YOUR MONEY CAN BE PROGRAMMED WITH AN EXPIRY DATE — IF YOU DON’T SPEND IT BY A CERTAIN DATE, YOU’LL LOSE IT
THERE WILL BE NO ‘BLACK’ ECONOMY. IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO AVOID TAX, BUT THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE POCKET MONEY TO CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN AND NEITHER WILL YOU BE ABLE TO BORROW OR LEND MONEY TO FRIENDS WITHOUT THAT BEING TAXED BY THE GOVERNMENT
PARKING AND SPEEDING FINES WILL BE TAKEN AT SOURCE, WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CHALLENGE AND POSSIBLY EVEN WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE
IF YOU PROTEST THE ACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT, YOUR MONEY CAN BE SWITCHED OFF. IF YOU THINK THAT’S UNLIKELY, IT’S ALREADY HAPPENED TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS WHEN THEY PROTESTED AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO A BRITISH JOURNALIST
A CASHLESS SOCIETY MEANS THE END OF HUMAN FREEDOM
IF YOU WANT THAT, DO NOTHING
IF YOU DON’T, THE FIRST THING YOU MUST DO IS RESPOND TO THE GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSAL ON DIGITAL ID, UPON WHICH A CASHLESS SOCIETY MUST BE BASED

That article is a wild mix of paranoia and conspiracy theories.
Never expected to read about burning witches, Kill Bill, covid, and government control in one setting.
I guess the author has some good intentions, but the way he presents his stuff makes him seen like a crazy person.
And most of the cons aren’t inherently negative.
Monero fixes this. They are incredibly afraid of it, and they have every right to be.
I wasn’t going to make a generic comment about how cryptocurrency is only worth money to people if they can convince other people to also purchase the cryptocurrency…
… But then I looked at your post history, and it’s like a week of pivoting conversations to be about Monero.
- New GPU released? Perfect for mining Monero.
- FBI made fake cryptocurrency? Monero isn’t fake.
- People shouldn’t store your information, so use Monero
- Taylor Swift donates for hurricane victims? Monero is worth more than her!
Edit: oh god it was worse than I thought
- All cryptocurrency is good… JK just Monero
- Good YouTube video? They should accept Monero.
- Good nudes? (NSFW) Take my Monero
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
(probably more, but mods removed many) - Their phone wallpaper? Anime girl Monero
I mean, is he wrong then? I also think monero is crucial, especially after visa and master card started boycotting Japanese anime and manga sites, claiming they promote negative female stereotypes.
How do I cross post a post?
There’s an icon on the web interface, next to the star icon to save the post. It looks like a copy icon with two squares. I’m not sure how to do that on mobile, it may depend on the client you are using.
ah, yeah, probably.
