You use it every day, and the government owns it. What better vehicle for bureaucrats to make you do what they want?
If you wanted to rule the world, what would you change to make that happen? Try something that can easily track and control everyone as they go about their daily lives — to the point that they can't escape your stalking or dictates. If you could control the one thing that everyone must use everywhere in his daily activities, you could make the dictators of the past look like rank amateurs.
What would have this amount of power to track and control everyone in society? What is the one system of the federal government that you must use in your daily life to buy gas, food, or anything else you need?
The obvious answer is currency — the one innocuous vestige of the government and the central banking system that you have to deal with daily. Or at least seemingly "innocuous," because no one thinks about the potential privacy and control implications that mere printed pieces of paper or plastic could have on your life. But think about it: the use of these government-controlled objects could tell the government when and where you've purchased a gun or ammunition (if you can find it). Even worse, if it's "programmable," as they say, they could decide that you can't purchase those items.
Then apply that example to everything else you need. Fuel for your car? Not if your carbon footprint is too big at the moment. Meat or anything else the green fascists don't like? Your programable currency says you don't deserve it. Do we need to mention that they've deemed talk they don't like "hate speech" and pro-freedom people "terrorists"?

It seems that the politicians have just started getting serious about this possibility.
And yet conservatives are self reliant independent spirits. We are definitively forever at odds with those who seek dominion over us without our consent.

They are working on it. Fascist statists would like nothing better than total control over the currency and transactions. Then they would allow what they want, block what they don’t want, and take money from your accounts and give it to somebody they like better.
Cash is mostly used for small-value, in-person payments, and its use relative to credit and debit cards is rapidly declining. It is also used for person to person payments, but other mechanisms, such as PayPal, Venmo, etc, are eating into that use.
Since cash payments are usually small-value, the percentage of payments in terms of value, rather than transactions, is even smaller.

I have one thousand rounds of 5.56mm I will trade for a Llama pistol. Any takers? Track that...
I work in a gun store and people bring large wads of cash for very expensive items.
H&K 40 should be worth a look. Be blessed!

look on your energy and water bills. Notice the spot where it says You used more gas than your neighboor?
lol. Understand. Looking for a specific Llama (Llama Jordianian) and willing to trade nice items for them, but thanks, that IS a very good pistol you mentioned.
Even the 2020 IRS Tax forms ask whether you’ve purchased any crypto currency.
It's already been tracked (source: your post), recorded in your FBI file and forwarded to the local commissar.
Groovy.
