100% cash. The only way to go. Government: Track me if you can.
~~~100% cash. The only way to go. Government: Track me if you can.
Every real piece of American currency has a unique serial number printed on them. Could a ATM track these numbers when they give you cash. How hard would it be to scan these during tranactions. While testing a currency counter for a major bank with an oscilloscope we could see clearly magnetic codes hidden in the bill that we could not find out what they were. When the bank service people asked the local feds they didn’t denied knowing anything about them.
My position is that if the government, IRS or anybody, doesn’t want you to use cash, then quit printing the damn stuff.
