So you think gas stations will be the limiting factor?

Retailers will be “incentivized” (by the government” to accept plastic only. Banks will be happy since they get a per centage of the transaction price. Then uncle will develop links to the banks. Then the govt can confiscate your assets to feed the illegals and pay off the teachers unions. You get the idea.

I totally get how it can be used to control people. If you’ve been a Jonty30, they might slash in half for a month to get you to comply with government dictums or remove your lifelong savings. I get all that.

However, specifically how is it unconstitutional for the government to decide the money they print will take a digital form. I have read the US Constitution, but I don’t see where the government is limited in deciding that the money must be in paper form.

(it's already here) (and really getting a good start with conditioning - even if by accident)

[When I talk about the war on cash and a cashless society, some people think I’m exaggerating the threat or they don’t take it seriously.

But I’m not exaggerating the threat. It’s here, it’s growing and it’ll only get worse.]

Here comes my post(s) again - I'm trying to alert the world, lurkers in fact, to where we are (lurkers please click on my screenname to see my FR homepage for more information)

WORLD-WIDE GAME CHANGER
COMPLIMENTS OF COVID-19(84)


Amazon One - Palm-print scanner

Pay with your hand - Forerunner to the coming Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13)


Using one's hands to pay for food. A boxed "convenience store" (Hudson Nonstop, LAX airport, Dallas Love Field airport), to Arbor Trails Whole Foods (Austin, Texas), to paying for food at Panera Bread, to other Whole Foods stores (owned by Amazon).

Yes, I use Amazon for shopping from time-to-time but this "scan-your-hand-to-pay" is already alive and in operation - no doubt it will continue to expand / grow in acceptance. The conditioning (intentional or unintentional, it will make no difference) has started.

I'm sure the people in the pics think they're showing the latest "cool thing" - possibly mocking and laughing at any reference to the "Mark of the Beast" - this is just a sampling of the pictures I found.

By the time the actual Mark of the Beast, these kinds of payment systems will be fully-embedded in society I think.

Amazon One

The world is not there - YET. But the conditioning, intentional or unintentional - it will make no difference. Fast, easy, secure, convenient. IMHO, cash will be outlawed. Digital Currency 100% will be the future. /Captain Obvious































And so shall the world be prepared for 7 years of 'Peace and Security'

If anyone is thinking about accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and getting baptized and getting new direction in life, now is a good time - before all "the fun" really begins - or "gets worse")

And a second round of pictures (after the Bible verses):

Acts 2:38
New King James Version

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2%3A38&version=NKJV

John 3:17-18
New King James Version

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.

18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A17-18&version=NKJV


Romans 10:9-10
New King James Version

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be Saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.

No

Lots of businesses are moving to “cash payments” system where customers can pay cash at the advertised/posted price or pay the posted price plus a transaction fee

I went to Pollo Loco the other night to get a Super Burrito “

I was charged for the Burrito plus a transaction fee of about 4%.

Anyone who processes payments via credit card hates paying the credit card fees which is 3-4% or $3,000 to $4,000 bucks per $100k transacted

Most of the time I pay cash to avoid but, didn’t have any that day

I have not used cash in 15 years at least, may be 20 years.
Ever since fast food & grocery stores started accepting credit cards, I stopped carrying cash in my wallet.

Start looking at your receipts

Many people don’t scrutinize the receipts and many don’t even want the receipt

Same here, 99.9% of my transactions are on plastic. Few issues over the years, all quickly resolved. I’m not hiding transactions, not laundering money, I have no secrets that matter. Plastic is convenient.

...exactly what kind of workaround...

All you need is a cellphone to transfer money.

Only time I check receipts versus credit card statement is for restaurant bills, coz they can fudge tip amount. Never had a single error with Walmart, Publix, Aldi or medical charges or on-line purchases. I use on-line a lot coz they give me 3% cash back for on-line purchases.
