Coronavirus Crisis: The Future of Cash, Checks, Credit Cards & Crypto.
The Financial Brand ^ | 3.11.2020 | Steve Cocheo, Editor

The traditional payments ecosystem expose countless people to the risk of a COVID-19 infection, when we should be able to just wave our phones by no-touch payment terminals to make transactions. Will the world finally be ready to adopt digital wallets now that their lives may depend on it?

Have to do that with our medical betters. Cash (unless I actually don’t have it) and paper receipt. I had a screw up on billing that made me forever carry my last receipt for all doctors.

I have gotten lazy about getting enough cash for groceries and gas, since I’ve been married but esp. since the gas started going up in 2007. And of course now, everything is too expensive.

Exactly! This transition to cashless has absolutely zero to do with hygiene and health protection and everything to do with gov and complete control over people. Buy the wrong products? Your cashless account is temporarily suspended or restricted. Give to,the wrong groups? Again, no soup for you! With a cashless system, the gov can mo it or every purchase or donation and shut down anyone that doesn’t toe the line

I pay in cash whenever I buy, though I have 2 VISA cards. I keep a HUGE amount of cash in my Cannon Gun Safe, and like to save the business the transaction/carrying fees, when I can.

In a word: Canada.

I can’t tell you how many hard-core lefties in my neck of the woods Canada’s Deep State has red-pilled.

It’s gotten so bad in parts of Upstate that I now know small businesses that are cash only, no plastic and no checks.

I’m a lifelong NYSer and I’ve never seen this before.

It’s happening al.,over the world unfortunately. There is a massive gaslighting agenda world wide. People are being brainwashed and browbeat into hating the truth and hating anyone that stands up for the truth.

Me neither. I read stuff similar to this, years ago, but it was refuted scientifically based upon the life of the virus, yet some websites want to keep it alive.

There are a few places here in York (PA) that take “cash only”, but most still take plastic.

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?

Thank you.

Sure seems to be the path. Nowadays especially.

God bless.
