I’ve heard the speculation is that they are trying to push us to a cashless society. They want everyone to use debit cards.
It would make it impossible to do anything anonymously. There would be a record of every purchase you ever made. It would tell where you’ve been, what you bought, how much, and when.
If people were buying stuff like guns and ammo, then there would be a trail for that.
If they suspected someone of *hoarding* or stocking up, it would show by their purchase trail.
There would be NO privacy with that route. Your life would be on record for all to know if they so chose to use it against you.
If someone is trying to get rid of cash, there’s no good reason for it.
I find that the most likely explanation, myself. And I’m sticking with it until something new comes along that makes more sense.
I don’t know where you stand spiritually, but Bible prophecy also talks about the mark of the beast, where a mark on the right hand or forehead are required to buy and sell. Going cashless would be the perfect precursor for implementing that.
It’s slowly easing people into getting used to it, and then it’s a short transition from using a card, which can be lost or stolen, to something hat you never have to worry about being without.
Easy, peasy. Right?

I am a strong advocate of using either non-government virtual currency, or hard assets. I still barely recall buying stuff with silver coins.
If you want to keep your government “honest@ hard assets are the way to go. If you don’t trust your government you need “money” that is “trust less” meaning it is based on its peer to peer value—not the fiat promise of a government that is out of control.
I am a reader of the Bible. I understand The Revalations of John—from several different articles. I am not buying into their literal translation or application to “today.” Nor am I getting into that on FR. It’s a non winning discussion.
I honestly don’t think the government has the sense to go non-currency.
