When you cannot see your money, you will be owned by those that control it. Reject this.

Money is only what we say it is... if the u.s. Goes cashless... something else tells me bartering goes big
Me too. Anything I can't pay for by cash, I write out a check. Online payments are just asking for trouble.
As far as those who prefer a cashless society, you can't fix stupid. If everything were an online transaction, freedom is gone. Wouldn't be long before the gov is telling you how much you can spend on what, how much to save, automatically deduct taxes and other expenses. People will be allowed to charge items up to a prescribed amount, leading to forever debt. The banks will own everyone.
It'll happen. When folks age 50 (or so) and older are out of the mainstream, there will be very little resistance to the "convenience" of a cashless society from younger generations.
You are all paranoid, what could possibly go wrong by making every financial transaction traceable, I mean if all transactions were traceable we could end drug use overnight because we could arrest everyone who buys drugs who should not be buying drugs!
It would be a UTOPIA!!!!
YAY!!!
You should just give up and conform to the power of the State!
It is better that way, just submit, it will be a better world that way.
Just give up!
Conform...
EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!!!
Gold and silver will rule the underground economy.
I’m not seeing this happening. Not for a while anyway. I got one word for you,...Unions!
Utterly meaningless and inaccurate “polling”. People in the US want cash... and give discounts for purchases made with cash. Significant discounts so that the transactions are not “taxed” by the financial machinery of crediting the sale. They can try this, but the true power will be held by the “medieval” holders of hard currency that can be held with discretion. Not some electronic blip one cannot control.
When they go cashless, the value for goods and services will be determined by governments. Cashless is so convenient that the world will be tranformed overnight by one major currency crisis, and will welcome the convenience and appar3nt security.
That includes more than 1/3 of the Tampa Bay Rays fans as well.
One hack by a 12 year old and you’re broke. I want to hold my pennies.
Of course, we know it's not really about any of that but rather absolute control.
Doing away with "money" won't happen while Trump is in the White House, and it won't happen for as long as I draw breath. I and tens-of-thousands just like me will absolutely annihilate anyone who tries it.
The only thing I have more of than money are guns and ammo. And I didn't buy them to collect dust...
If the left starts pushing this one, they can kiss that minority vote goodbye. They own the underground and it is 100% cash.
Non-personship just one government computer keystroke away. Obey you will.
Idiots. Idiots if they give up physical means of exchange.
I _want_ to be all-cash, but plastic is too dang convenient. Discovered I’d gone cashless when I realized I hadn’t had cash for three months.

I’ve got news for Jeremy Gaunt:
Plastic money is what is nearing extinction. Cash-only is what is soon to fall into place as the banks attempt to create “bail-in” laws.
I suggest that everyone store away small bills to enable transactions when banking dies, as it most certainly must as people lose faith in them.

I think this article has it all wrong. With the high fees charged by credit card companies and the pervasive risks of identity theft and credit card fraud, I’m seeing more examples of people and businesses who are using cash — and even personal checks — in lieu of credit/debit cards.
So VISA would get a bite out of every transaction that was formerly fee free in cash. Totally unfair.
