“Will the world finally be ready to adopt digital wallets now that their lives may depend on it?”
When that happens say hello to total government control.
Oh, boogity, boogity, BOOGITY! We are supposed to be cringing in primordial fear of some illusionary monster exemplified by the COVID-19 Wuhan virus.
That ain’t no way to live, not now, not ever. While there have been a number of deaths occurred, a large proportion of those deaths attributed to COVID-19 virus complications should actually be reclassified to “died WITH COVID-19” rather than “died FROM COVID-19”. Most patients recover, with few lasting effects, and there seems to be a relatively long-lasting immunity conferred.
Oh good God.

We should be happy about this? Why bring up COVID on objects now that that’s been long debunked? And a poor excuse, anyway!
Repent! Wear three masks and a Hazmet suit! Boil all food and bleach every product bought into your home. Stay inside.
Run for your lives!
Sorry not gonna cringe In fear of a virus variant that is now almost 100% survivable, nor in fear of the original virus with its massive 99.95% over all survival rate.
Cash is just fine. Not afraid of germs from a virus that doesn’t kill mostly
Not only no but NO.
I’m using so much hand sanitizer, I disinfect the bowl every time I pee.

“[cash] expose countless people to the risk of a COVID-19 infection”
Oh please. The whole idea of it communicated by touch was investigated and dismissed in the summer of 2020. The author can keep his mask on for all eternity, but leave us alone.
That said, I do love ApplePay. It’s the convenience that I find so useful. I hate the fact that I may be enabling a “social credit score” by using it, though. But we’ve been using credit cards for probably 90% of our purchases the past 20 years anyway, so it really doesn’t make any difference. They could cut off or restrict purchases as easily on a credit card as on any contactless payment device.
So cash is dirty...
How about shopping malls?
Grocery stores?
Public restrooms?
Public transpo?
Gonna ban all those too?
Now tansacting everything in cash that is possible to do so.
Feeling like a dinosaur but someone has to do it to keep these yo-yos honest.
Same thing with paper receipts. Never fail to ask for one.
Government using fear to promote digital currency that they can seize under multiple pretexts.
That’s what people should fear. The federal government seeks to kill, steal and destroy the American people.
I don’t know how these shills can type with a straight face.
I see the batsignal went up for no more paper money. Whenever possible, fight it. That’s a hill worth dying on.
If they go to all digital, the government —Pelosi, Schiff—will know every single transaction you make. And cut you off for wrongthink. Look what they just did in Canada. Debanked every peaceful protestor. Just cut them off. Froze their accounts. Terminated their accounts.
The Control Freaks worldwide want this sooo bad. Then ban crypto, make them use FedCoin, aka Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC.
Klaus will run the world.
Get rid of cash, and FREEDOM ENDS. They will control what you can buy, where you can buy it from, and what you can sell. Now, Christian FReepers, doesn’t that sound a lot like the Mark of the Beast?
