Cash is king and safe.
“Cash is king and safe.”
Amen brother. This demonstrates that the cashless society is fraught with peril. Those relying solely on digital currency will be subject to theft by regular criminals, as well as the government criminals.
To the contrary. Credit cards are the safest way to conduct transactions. If they are stolen or lost, you can cancel them before any harm is done. Even if they are used fraudulently, you are protected. It's happened to me twice and both times, the charges were waived and I did not have to pay a dime. There were also times when I had charges reversed for getting a shoddy product or service.
Try getting a refund after you hand over cold, hard cash! And if your cash gets lost or stolen, you are out of luck.
I never pay cash, unless it is a very small transaction like a cup of coffee or a parking meter.
Unless you use $2 bills, in which case you're liable to spend a little time in jail.
